Thanks to everyone that helped me get aroudn the pointer to arrays and hashes of array references and all that mutha jazz. I post my result here. Thsi is my first real foray into arrays and as such I hope is received kindly. Thanks to masem for that lovely snippet just above me. I am going to need a glass fo hogfat to wash that down my mental gullet, so to speak. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use SNMP_util;

$nameOID = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.2.1.2";
@addOID = qw(.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.2.1.3 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.2.1.4 .1.3.6.1.
+4.1.2021.2.1.5 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.2.1.101);
$IP = "127.0.0.1";

(@tempNameArray) = &snmpwalk($IP,$nameOID);
foreach $a (@tempNameArray) {
        ($throw, $name) = split(/:/,$a,2);
        push(@arrayNames, $name);
        }

$control = 0;
foreach $i (@arrayNames) {
        foreach $j (@addOID) {
                (@breakMe) = &snmpwalk($IP,$j);
                        ($throw, $value) = split(/:/,$breakMe[$control
+],2);
                        $resultHash{$i} .= $value.",";
                }
        $control++;
        }

foreach $key (keys %resultHash) {
        ($svcMax, $svcMin, $svcActual, $svcErr) = split(/,/,$resultHas
+h{$key});
        print "-----------------------\n",$key, " values are:\n";
        print "Maximum Services: ", $svcMax, "\n";
        print "Minimum Services: ", $svcMin, "\n";
        print "Actual Services Running: ", $svcActual, "\n";
        print "Error Message: ", $svcErr, "\n";
