If your quotes are necessary because your fields contain spaces or other special chars, don't use split. Rather, use a module that processes quotes and comma lists (you don't have commas, but you don't have to draw upon that feature. The quotes is the hard part). Search CPAN for "quote" and such. I know they exist, but am not familiar with specific modules.
It would be simpler to assign to hash members, not variables, with the results. E.g.
foreach (my $input) @data {
my ($key, $value)= parseline ($input);
$results{$key}=$value;
}

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).
