ALTERNATE INTERPRETATION OF OP's DESIRES; namely, that cristianro87 wants to summarize ALL the data elements:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use 5.016;

# 1087978

while (<DATA>) {
    my ($chrom, $pos, $id, $ref, $alt, $qual);
    if ($_ =~ /#CHROM.+/ ) {           # title "Load table with row/co
+lumn names" 
        next;                          # does NOT match "access the el
+ements" example
    } elsif ( $_ eq '' ) {
        last;
    } else {
        ($chrom, $pos, $id, $ref, $alt, $qual) = split;
        # desired out: [chr1][1092482][REF] = T
        say "[$chrom] [$pos] [REF] = " . $alt; 
    }
}

Far simpler: no hashes but possibly (caveat here ->) a simple-minded interp of an unclear SOPW.
