in thread MySQL results inserted into Perl variable

The only change that I would make to the foregoing is that I would choose to specify the column-name, not as a bareword, but as a literal string, viz:

So you have more to type?

my $field1 = $data->[0]{'field1'};

That is not stupid at all , you really should have $field99 instead of that pesky $data array
