split to hash?

[stefan.kredler]

is there a better way of building a hash from a file than this?

---8<---
  while (<FILE>){
     ($mt,$te) = split /;/,<FILE>;              
    $tt{$mt} = $te;
}
----8<-----

I tried:
($mt,$te{$mt}) = split /;/,<FILE>;

even though I expected it to fail; the use of @_ seems to fail too.

Any hint is appreciated

thanks,  Stefan
