A few things - mostly just personal preference.

I prefer to use the "shift" function, like this: 

   sub process_something
   {
       my $s1 = shift;
       my $s2 = shift;
       my $arrayref1 = shift;
       my $arrayref2 = shift;

       # And instead of creating new hashes from the
       # references passed in...
       #my @array1 = @$arrayref1;
       #my @array2 = @$arrayref2;

       # You can use the references themselves...
       # like $arrayref->[i] below...
       print "Subroutine process_something: \$s1 = $s1\n";
       print "                              \$s2 = $s2\n";
       my $count_array1_elements = @$arrayref1;
       for ($i = 0; $i < $count_array1_elements; $i++) {
          printf "Array1 Element %d = %s\n", $i, $arrayref->[i];
       }
   }

   process_something($scalar1,
                     $scalar2,
                     \@array1,  # pass a *reference* to the array
                     \@array2); # same
