@hashdata should really be a scalar.
This simplifies the code (It could be similified even more if you did not need to expand into @dereferencedData): 
use strict; use warnings; 
use Data::Dumper; 
my %hash;

my $loadedFile = do {local $/=undef; <DATA>};
{
    no strict; 
    eval ($loadedFile);
    if ($@) {print 'eval error:'.$@."\n"; } 

} 

my $hashData  = $hash{Scope}{model};

my @dereferencedData = @$hashData;
print "Data: \n", Dumper (\@dereferencedData), "\n";

__DATA__
%hash = ( 
      #scope changes
      Scope => {
            model => [
                  'data I need',
                  'another row of needed data',
                  'more data I need'
            ]

      },
      IrreleventScope =>{
                  a=>'b'
            }       

);

Output:
Data: 
$VAR1 = [
          'data I need',
          'another row of needed data',
          'more data I need'
        ];

                Once it hits the fan, the only rational choice is to sweep it up, package it, and sell it as fertilizer.
