With

use strict;
use warnings;

you get the hint that you are not using Perl properly.

Scalar value keys[0] better written as $keys[0] at t.pl line 10.
Scalar value values[0] better written as $values[0] at t.pl line 10.

my %bucket = (
KEYNAME => 'new value',
ANOTHER => 'another value',
);

foreach my $key (keys %bucket) {
print "key = $key, value = $bucket{$key}n";
}
