First, you shouldn't do that. See Why it's stupid to 'use a variable as a variable name'.

Second, why don't you have 'mailbox', 'subscribe' and 'country' as keys in a single hash? No need to have multiple hashes.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature qw/ say /;
use Data::Dumper;

my @values = ('inbox', 'yes', 'NZ');
my %data;
$data{ $_ } = shift @values for qw/ mailbox subscribe country /;
say Dumper \%data;

__END__

Output:

[nick:~/monks]$ perl 1140269.pl
$VAR1 = {
          'subscribe' => 'yes',
          'country' => 'NZ',
          'mailbox' => 'inbox'
        };

Update: Or, if you have multiple records you can just put the code above in another loop. Below I make the hashref keys from a counter; perhaps you have user names or something that could be the keys.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature qw/ say /;
use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;

my @records = ( [ 'inbox',  'yes', 'NZ' ],
                [ 'inbox',  'no',  'UK' ],
                [ 'outbox', 'yes', 'UK' ] );
my $href;
my $index = 0;

foreach my $record ( @records ) { 
  ++$index;
  $href->{ $index }->{ $_ } = shift @{ $record } for qw/ mailbox subsc
+ribe country /;
}

say Dumper $href;

__END__
