How about something like this then: 
#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my @lines = (<>);
my %data  = ();
my $token = '';

foreach (@lines) {
  if (/\[(\w+)\]/) {
    $token = $1;
  }
  if (/(\w+)=(\w+)/) {
    $data{$token}->{$1} = $2;
  }
}

print Dumper(\%data);

The output is: 
$VAR1 = {
          'foo2' => {
                      'e' => '5',
                      'f' => '6',
                      'd' => '4'
                    },
          'foo' => {
                     'a' => '1',
                     'b' => '2',
                     'c' => '3'
                   }
        };

Not 100% what you want - this creates a hash of hashes - but still useable.
