If you can tolerate the change of square brackets to curly braces, it's easy: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

<DATA>; # Skip the header line


my %table;
while (<DATA>) {
    my ($chrom, $pos, $id, $ref, $alt, $qual) = split;
    $table{$chrom}{$pos} = {
                            REF  => $ref,
                            ALT  => $alt,
                            QUAL => $qual,
                           };
}

print $table{chr1}{1092482}{REF}, "\n";   # Prints T, yay!

__DATA__
#CHROM    POS    ID    REF    ALT    QUAL
chr1    1092344    .    G    T    79.54
