An option using map:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my @fname = ( "Bob",     "John", "Ashley" );
my @lname = ( "Johnson", "Hill", "Sharp" );
my @state = ( "AK",      "CA",   "AL" );

my %hash = map { $fname[$_] . ' ' . $lname[$_] => $state[$_] } 0 .. $#
+state;
print Dumper \%hash;

Output:

$VAR1 = {
          'Bob Johnson' => 'AK',
          'Ashley Sharp' => 'AL',
          'John Hill' => 'CA'
        };

Hope this helps!
