use 6; # require perl v6
  use List::Util qw/reduce/;

  @foobar = @{reduce{@$a ^+ @$b}\(@foo, @bar, @baz, @etc)};

reduce will almost certainly be a built-in in Perl 6, so you won't need to use List::Util.

That hideously lovely third line certainly would do the job in Perl 6 (well done!), but was it really necessary to be so cruel to the mere mortals who'll have to maintain that code???

kwoff is perfectly correct -- in Perl 6 you'll just need: 

	@foobar = @foo ^+ @bar ^+ @baz ^+ @etc;
or possibly even: 
	@foobar = ^sum(@foo,@bar,@baz,@etc);
BTW, all of the above code has been tested. ;-)
