As others have pointed out you've got problems with scopeing. This sort of thing just crys out for arrays and loops though.

use strict;
use warnings;

my @bowlers;
my $team_handicap;

for my $bowler (1..4) {
    print 'Please enter Bowler ',$bowler,"'s 3 scores:\n";
    for (0..2)  {
        print '::';
        my $score = <>;
        chomp $score;
        $bowlers[$bowler]{avg} += $score;
    }
    $bowlers[$bowler]{avg} = int ( $bowlers[$bowler]{avg} / 3 );
    
    $bowlers[$bowler]{handicap} = 
      ($bowlers[$bowler]{avg} >= 200) ?
      int( (200 - $bowlers[$bowler]{avg} ) * .85) :
      0;
      
    $team_handicap += $bowlers[$bowler]{handicap};
}

print "\n\n";

for my $bowler (1..4) {
  print 'Bowler ',$bowler,"'s Average Score:  ",$bowlers[$bowler]{avg}
+;
  print "\tBowler ",$bowler,"'s Handicap:  ",$bowlers[$bowler]{handica
+p},"\n";
}
print "The team's handicap is:    $team_handicap";
