Using a subroutine that takes a code block as its first argument and applies that code to groups of size specified in the second argument taken from the remaining arguments.

use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper;

sub groupsOf (&$@);

my $doubleStack = [
   groupsOf
      { [ @_ ] }
      3,
      qw{ a b c e 1 2 3 4 5 3 f }
   ];

print Data::Dumper
   ->Dumpxs( [ $doubleStack ], [ qw{ doubleStack } ] );

sub groupsOf (&$@)
{
    my $rcToRun  = shift;
    my $groupsOf = shift;

    my $rcDoIt;
    $rcDoIt = sub
       {
           $rcToRun->(
              map shift, 1 .. ( @_ < $groupsOf ? @_ : $groupsOf )
              ),
           @_ ? &$rcDoIt : ();
       };

    &$rcDoIt;
}

The output.

$doubleStack = [
                 [
                   'a',
                   'b',
                   'c'
                 ],
                 [
                   'e',
                   '1',
                   '2'
                 ],
                 [
                   '3',
                   '4',
                   '5'
                 ],
                 [
                   '3',
                   'f'
                 ]
               ];
