First, I would say that your indenting style is quite frankly horrible. I really like what grizzley did and I commend it! Your code also doesn't "run".

If you have a choice of print instead of push and print later, print it now!

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my %names = qw (NAME 1
                AGE  1);

while(<DATA>)
{
   s/[{}\n]//g; #this substitute gets rid of {} and also
                #does the job of chomp;
   print "$_\n" if !exists($names{$_});
}

# Prints:
# SEX
# ADDRESS
# ADDRESS
__DATA__
{NAME}
{AGE}
{SEX}
{ADDRESS}
{ADDRESS}
