perldoc perlreftut and perldoc perldsc should be your first stop. Sounds like you want a hash of arrayrefs. 

my @keys = qw( a b c );
my @val1 = ( 1, 2, 3 );
my @val2 = ( 2, 4, 6 );

my %hoa;
my $idx = 0;
for my $k ( @keys ) { 
  @{ $hoa{ $k } } = [ $val1[ $idx ], $val2[ $idx ] ];
  $idx++;
}

Update: Feh, need more caffeine. As is remarked below it of course should be $hoa{ $k } = [ ... ]. Otherwise you get an extra arrayref around things.
