qw(@con) is an error. Perl would have told you about it if you used strictures (use strict; use warnings;). Always use strictures. qw quotes 'words' where in this case a 'word' is any sequence of non-white space characters. @con is taken to be a word by qw so you are trying to assign a single element list to a hash - that doesn't do what you want.
Consider instead:
use strict;
use warnings;
my %con;
while (<DATA>) {
chomp($_);
next unless /^(.*?)=>(.*)/;
$con{$1} = $2;
}
print "Key: $_, Value: $con{$_}\n" for sort keys %con;
__DATA__
article=>art
chapter=>chap
section=>sec
Prints:
Key: article, Value: art
Key: chapter, Value: chap
Key: section, Value: sec

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).
