Tip #1 from the Basic debugging checklist: use warnings. You were trying to grab an array element by using a string value instead of a numeric value, which is what the warning message tells you.
use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
my @report_name = qw(Attendance Sales Tickets Fans);
while (<DATA>) {
my %by_report = split ' ';
print Dumper( \%by_report );
for (@report_name) {
print "report_name is: $_\n";
if ( exists( $by_report{ $_ } ) ) {
print "$_ Report is: $by_report{$_}\n";
}
else {
print "No data for $_ Report\n";
}
}
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
