The problem is that your code evaluates the arrays in scalar context, which returns the number of elements in the array. One way to evaluate the arrays in list context is to change the period to a comma in your say lines:
use feature 'say';
say "Please enter 3 string variables, :" . "(Please crtl-D after ente
+ring strings)\n ";
@lines = <STDIN>;
say 'Here ', @lines;
chomp(@lines);
@backwards = reverse(@lines);
say "Here are the values in reverse order:", @backwards;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
