I'm not sure what you want (and I've no idea what you find 'spooky'), but does this do it for you? 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use YAML;

my @accounts = ("A x1 B y1 C z1 D v1 E w1 F",

Short explaination of the map line: Take each element of @accounts, split it on white space, make an anonymous hash out of the results, and take a hash slice of that, indexed on @fields. Create an anonymous array of the result of the slice.
