in reply to Create a list from an Arrray

The expression qw(@hash_tags) does not interpolate an array variable, it merely returns the literal string '@hash_tags'. I think you want:

@USERlist = @hash_tags;
...
@STATIClist = @tags;

and the code should work as expected.

Update: See Quote and Quote like Operators.

Hope that helps,
