Looks good.

Not quite right. Loose the square brackets and take a reference to the
hash.
push (@MainList, \%ElementAssocArray);
>To access each element (for example the 1st element), I plan to do:

You will need to use the square brackets here for an array index, not
parens. And you will need to add a dereference to the hash from above.
%myElement = %{$MainList[0]};
>To access elements in the associative element list, I will do:
> $myAge = %myElement{"Age"};
Almost. Perl currently has this interesting concept that the sigil (the
leading character in a variable name) should indicate the data type being
accessed. That means a hash may be %hash, but a hash element is, by
definition, a scalar so it turns into $hash{key}. You also don't need to
double quote a string when it's a hash key. So try:
$myAge = $myElement{Age};
