Is not the structure you want but the method new of Parse::Eyapp::Node builds a similar structure: 
$ perl -wde 0
main::(-e:1):   0
DB<1> use Parse::Eyapp::Node
DB<2> x Parse::Eyapp::Node->new('A(B,C)')
0  A=HASH(0x860b980)
   'children' => ARRAY(0x861c874)
      0  B=HASH(0x8628568)
         'children' => ARRAY(0x83284ec)
              empty array
      1  C=HASH(0x861c928)
         'children' => ARRAY(0x852d8a8)
              empty array
1  B=HASH(0x8628568)
   -> REUSED_ADDRESS
2  C=HASH(0x861c928)
   -> REUSED_ADDRESS
