No one's suggested it yet, so I thought I'd try something. I was able to do this without splitting the data. I just looped it through a regex. If your data is all on one line, then you don't even need the outer while loop. Hope this helps. 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my %records;
while ( <DATA> ) {
   chomp;
   while ( m| (\w+)\s* = \s*([^,]+)\s* |gx ) {
      $records{$1} = $2;  # add to hash
   }
}
print Dumper( \%records );


__DATA__
F1=D1, F2 = D2, F3= D3, F4 =D4,  F5  =  D5

Ouput: 
$VAR1 = {
          'F2' => 'D2',
          'F3' => 'D3',
          'F4' => 'D4',
          'F5' => 'D5',
          'F1' => 'D1'
        };
