@RecordNames[94]       = qw/$Destination  $DestinationType/;
@RecordLengths[94]     = qw/$A8            A4/;

this is wrong: you can't assign a list (as given by qw/.../) to an array element. what you're writing is: 
$RecordNames[94] = "$Destination";
$RecordLengths[94] = "$A8";

[download]
and this will not work, of course. furthermore, you should abandon the habit of populating a single variable for each field you have (eg. $Destination, $DestinationType). use a hash instead: 
$fields[94]  = [ qw/Destination DestinationType/ ];
$lengths[94] =   qq/A8          A4             /  ;

my @data{ @{$fields[94]} } = unpack($lengths[94], $Record);

# then you have:
#
# $data{Destination}
# $data{DestinationType}

hope this helps...
