No one's suggested it yet, so I thought I'd try something. I was able to do this without splitting the data. I just looped it through a regex. If your data is all on one line, then you don't even need the outer while loop. Hope this helps.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my %records;
while ( <DATA> ) {
   chomp;
   while ( m| (\w+)\s* = \s*([^,]+)\s* |gx ) {
      $records{$1} = $2;  # add to hash
   }
}
print Dumper( \%records );


__DATA__
F1=D1, F2 = D2, F3= D3, F4 =D4,  F5  =  D5

Ouput:

$VAR1 = {
          'F2' => 'D2',
          'F3' => 'D3',
          'F4' => 'D4',
          'F5' => 'D5',
          'F1' => 'D1'
        };

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
