For a real answer now: create your list as an array of arrays, loop on the outer array.
print "$_->[0] - $_->[1]\n" for @LoL;
If you start with a flat list, you create the LoL with davorg's solution:
my @LoL;
while(my @items = splice( @list, 0, 2) ){
push @LoL, [@items];
}
or non-destructive:
my $size = 2;
die "Uneven list" if @list % $size;
my @LoL;
for my $index ( 0.. $#list ){
my $rem = $index % $size;
$LoL[($index - $rem)/$size]->[$rem] = $list[$index];
}
