There are many things you could be encountering, since you didn't post any code we will have to consult the oracle to determine what the nature of your problem is:

The oracle says: "Lightning strikes."

# store the array in a variable
my @foo = builder();

# pass it to another function to print the contents
printer(@foo);

# build array of arrays (sic) and return it
sub builder {
    my @built = (
        [qw/a b c d e f g/],
        [qw/1 2 3 4 5 6 7/],
    );
    return @built;
}

# print the data
sub printer {
    my @array = @_;
    foreach(@array) {
        print join(' ',@{$_})."\n";
    }
}
__DATA__
a b c d e f g
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
