Your input data doesn't match your script: it's not comma-separated. I added commas as separators and transformed the input data to: 
Animal,keepers,M/F,YEAR,DOB,AGE,FSM,PREM ET,ND AL,EAL
GIRAFFE,JAMES LE,M,9,10/12/2007,,Y,Y,N,N
HIPPOS,JACKIE LEAN,F,6,11/12/2007,,Y,N,Y,Y
ZEBRAS,JAMES LEHERN,M,3,12/12/2007,,N,N,N,Y
LIONS,AMIE CAHORT,M,1,13/12/2012,,Y,Y,Y,N

and then this code got your expected output: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;

my $file = '1151282.dat';

open my $fh, '<', $file or die $!;

my @headers;

while ( <$fh> ) {
    chomp;

    if ( $. == 1 ) {
        @headers = split ',';
        next;
    }

    my @strings = split ',';

    for ( 0 .. @headers - 1 ) {
        say "$headers[ $_ ] $strings[ $_ ]";
    }

    say '';
}

__END__

However, if you really have CSV data, you should use a module to parse it; I recommend Text::CSV_XS

Hope this helps!

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
