Update: actually,this does not work. The reregex in question might be visually pleasing, but is plain wrong. Shame on me...

Second possible approach. Be advised, one = sign out of place, and it does not work anymore. 

use feature qw/say/;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

    chomp $line;
    my %record = ($line =~ /([^=]+)=([^=]+) ?/g);
    say Dumper \%record;
}
