I have a structured file with content similar to this: 
( File "foo"
    ( Header
        ( Key
            ( physical )
        )
        ( Version
            ( 1.0 )
        )
        ( Revision
            ( log 0 )
            ( phy 0 )
            ( oth 0 )
        )
        ( Contents
            ( Flags )
            ( Dictionary )
            ( Properties )
        )
        ( Precision
            ( Units mil )
            ( Dec 1 )
        )
    )
)

I need to parse the file and put it into a hash structure that would look like this: 
my $hash = {
  File => {
    value => "foo",
    Header => { 
      Key => { 
        value => "phy",
      },
      Version => {
        value => 1.0,
      },
      Revision => {
        log => {
          value => 0
        },
        phy => {
          value => 0
        },
        oth => {
          value => 0
        }
      },
      Contents => {
        Flags => {},
        Dictionary => {},
        Properties => {}
      },
      Precision => {
        Units => {
          value => "mil"
        },
        Dec => {
          value => 1
        }
      }
    }
  }
};

I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation on the most effective method to do this.
Many thanks for any and all responses.
