This line sorta confuses me.
Now record is treated as an array? An array element which is a hash?
On the next line, you push it as a hash onto @data. This makes an array of
hashes?

It is a hash slice*. It is roughly equivalent to doing this
($record{firstName}, $record{lastName}, $record{field3},
$record{field4}) = split /\t/;
