In perl you cann't store array as value of hash but reference.
maybe following is what you want.
use strict;
use warnings;
my %headers;
open IN, "<$ARGV[0]";
my @v1 = split("\t \n", <IN>);
my @v2 = split("\t \n", <IN>);
$headers{"keys"} = \@v1;
$headers{"info"} = \@v2;
for my $key (keys %headers){
print "$key => @{$headers{$key}}\n";
}
