Hey all. Related question. Is there a way to avoid this multi step operation when I have multiple return values of a sub? e.g.: 

my ($ref1, $ref2) = retarrayrefs();
my @arr1=@$ref1;
my @arr2=@$ref2;

sub retarrayrefs {
 my @arr1=qw(one two three);
 my @arr2=qw(four five six seven);
 return (\@arr1,\@arr2);
}

I was trying many variations of the below, but none work properly, and it just doesn't seem like a good thing to do. Should I stop trying to shorten this code and simply stick with the above? 
my (@arr1,@arr2) = ( ${retarrays()[0]}, ${retarrays()[1]} );
