in thread golf: shortest way to parse a pipe delimited file

I see more than 41 characters because you say while (<SRC>) { } In my solution, the filehandle is part of the solution character count. If I put my solution in the context of yours it looks like this: 
sub parse{
#12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
%p=map{chomp;split/\|/;shift@_,[@_]}@_
}
parse(<SRC>);

and is 37 characters.

    Save a couple of chars by taking advantage of the fact that shift defaults to @_ while in a sub. 
    %p=map{chomp;split/\|/;shift,[@_]}@_

    Using chop instead of chomp would help, but might not be portable.
