I am reading a file and creating a hash, however I need one of the hash values to contain another (embedded) hash. Here is the code: 
sub rd_template
{
  my (%mymsg, %msg48, $msg, $key, $val, $msg48, $key48, $val48);
    open FH, $opt_f or die "Can't open $opt_f: $!";
    while (<FH>)
    {
        chomp;
        ($key, $val) = split /=>/;
        if ($key == 48)
        {
           ($key48, $val48) = split /=>/;
           $msg48{$key48} = $val48;
        }
        $msg{$key} = $val;
    }
    close FH or die "Can't close $opt_f: $!";
   my @temp = %msg;  # testing to see the hash quickly..
   print "@temp\n";
}

Here is a sample file, note that where the key 48 in the file and below is where I would like the data read into an embedded hash, any help would be great!: 
MTI=>1100
2=>4000000000000001
3=>003000
4=>000000010000
11=>666666
12=>
14=>0404
22=>B00101200041
24=>100
41=>0009    
42=>0009000101    
48=>
 2=>01  02              
 3=>5555555
