Or this: 

use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my %h = map $_ => split/:|,/ => 'x:q,y:u,z:n';

{ 
 local $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;  ## Update
 print Dumper \%h;
}

UPDATE:
In the solution, map is not even needed. Without it, you still have your solution.
choroba caught that!

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.
