You could try this. 

#! perl -sw
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my $source = do {local $/; <DATA> }; # Slurp the source

# build an array of chunks that look like parms to Lique()
my (@parms) = $source =~ m/=\s+(?:new\s+)?CX::Lique(?:->new\s*?)?\((.*
+?)\);/gcs;

# Processs the array and build a hash from the chunks.
for my $parm (@parms) {
    my %info;
    $parm =~ s/'?(\w+)'?\s+=>\s+'?([^,')]+)'?,?\n/$info{$1} = $2;/seg;
    print Dumper(\%info);
}

__DATA__
my $fun = new CX::Lique(
  name   => 'Test Addon',
  'author'=> 'nutshell',
  email  => 'x@x.com',
  descrip => 'That',
  version => '1.1',
  build => 2
);

my $q = CX::Lique->new(

  name   => 'Test',
  'author'=> 'yeehaw',
  'email' => 'yeehaw@yahoo.com',
  descrip => 'Fun',
  version => '1.11',
  build  => 2
);

Which gives this. No guarentees it will work for all the possible ways this could be structured in the source though. 

C:\test>202407
$VAR1 = {
          'descrip' => 'That',
          'build' => '2',
          'version' => '1.1',
          'email' => 'x@x.com',
          'name' => 'Test Addon'
        };
$VAR1 = {
          'descrip' => 'Fun',
          'build' => '2',
          'version' => '1.11',
          'email' => 'yeehaw@yahoo.com',
          'name' => 'Test'
        };
