Unless StripLTSpace() is actually using a prototype to get a reference to $href->{$k} (update: which it then modifies), or the values of the hash may be large, you could probably just make a copy of the value: 

for my $k (@required_fields) {
  my $v = $href->{$k};
  StripLTSpace($v);
  $v or return DIRTY $row, "ERROR: required field $k not present";
}

If you don't want to make a copy, you can use for's aliasing ability, like so: 

for my $k (@required_fields) {
  for my $v ($href->{$k}) {
    StripLTSpace($v);
    $v or return DIRTY $row, "ERROR: required field $k not present";
  }
}

IIRC, the syntax for Perl6 for loops will include the ability to have multiple iterator variables, something similar to:

for my $k, $v (...) {

But I'm not sure how you'd write the ... part. The only thing I can think of now is something involving map that's likely to be more expensive than just creating a copy of the value. *shrug*

Update: Another way to do it: 

for my $k (@required_fields) {
  my $vr = \$href->{$k};
  StripLTSpace($$vr);
  $$vr or return DIRTY $row, "ERROR: required field $k not present";
}

Thinking about it further, however, I find it a bit unlikely that doing two hash look-ups rather than one is actually profiling as a bottleneck in your program. Unless there are extenuating circumstances that you haven't detailed, perhaps you should profile the program to determine exactly where the bottlenecks are occuring.
