Most people would use a hash for this. That way, you can access 'name'
instead of $name_field.

Good move.

But you didn't declare ANY of those variables.
my ($name_f, $age_f, $pos_f, $date_f) = (0 .. 3);
my @employee = ("John Doe", 32, "Software Engineer", "10/10/2000");
Or, using a hash, you don't need those four $..._f variables:
my %employee = (
name => "John Doe",
age => 32,
position => "Software Engineer",
start_date => "10/10/2000",
);
print $employee{age};
