After fixing up your sample data (it's missing a closing bracket & brace) and shortening it, your code runs fine:

my $data = {
          'PairedDevices' => [
                          {
                               'PairName' => 'Chestnut',
                               'MetricSeverity' => '34',
                               'MinPercent' => '20',
                               'HostOwningGroup' => 'AIX Team',
                               'StatusAlertThisPair' => 'Y',
                               'StatusSeverity' => '31',
                               'HostedEnvironment' => 'Test',
                               'MetricAlertThisPair' => 'Y',
                               'MaxPercent' => '80',
                               'HostedApplication' => 'IEOR',
                               'HostOS' => 'AIX'
                          }
                             ]
           };

foreach my $e (@{$data->{PairedDevices}}) {
    print "Pairname is: " . $e->{PairName} . "\n  ";
    print "Hosted Apps are: " . $e->{HostedApplication} . "\n" ;
    print "HostOS is: " . $e->{HostOS} . "\n";
}

Output:

Pairname is: Chestnut
  Hosted Apps are: IEOR
HostOS is: AIX

You don't really want to comment out use strict. Really, you don't. Removing strict doesn't fix problems, it just hides them. The problems lurk, hidden, until the time you least want them to reappear.
