G'day catfish1116,

Here's a solution which 

$ perl -wE '
    my @players = qw{Barney Fred Dino};
    my @bowled = (195, 205, 30);
    my %score = map +($players[$_] => $bowled[$_]), 0 .. $#players;
    say "@players";
    say "@score{@players}";
'
Barney Fred Dino
195 205 30

To hopefully avoid wrapping, I changed "bowling_scores" to "bowled". Other than than, I've used the same variable names and data that you presented.

In case you were unaware, the + in "map +(..." disambiguates map followed by an expression in parentheses (wanted) from map followed by a list of parameters in parentheses (not wanted). Try it without the + to see the difference; I get player names but no score values, and 8 warning messages.

Arrays with differing numbers of elements are not addressed here; however, your program should include some sort of validation code to handle that situation.
