Haven't done any Perl in a long while (thankfully ;-) ) so I'm not
quite sure on your syntax there, but here's how to do it in Python:

x = {'y': {'z': 'My value'}}
x['y']['z']

'My value'

Much easier to understand than that crazy perl syntax!

Just put dictionaries as values into a dictionary.

Pretty much the same as in perl, only minus half the crazy abuses
of the ASCII character-set.

Okay...well, not quite half the abuses in this case...

>>> x = {}
>>> y = 42
>>> z = 'foonting turlingdromes'
>>> x[y] = {}
>>> x[y][z] = 'crinkly bindlewurdles'

Or, if you want to do it in a single pass:
{42: {'foonting turlingdromes': 'crinkly bindlewurdles'}}
