Thanks all for the replies! Ok, like apl says, maybe i should be a bit more specific :) Let me explain the scenario first... I am building a PDF from data that I extract from a DB. When the data gets retrieved via a DBI fetchall_arrayref, it only returns the data like it should. The problem is that I am using PDF::Table. I need to add a header row to the array cause PDF::Table auto repeats the first row as a header if the data spans more than 1 page. So keeping that in mind this is the scenario: 
...
use Data::Dumper;
...
my @ref_header = ( 
       [ ["Name", "Surname"] ],
    );
...
@ref_db_data = $sth->fetchall_arrayref;

the data that is in @ref_db_data is: 
print Dumper @ref_db_data;
$VAR2 = [
          [
            'John',
            'Doe'
          ],
          [
            'Jane',
            'Smith'
          ],
        ];

What I want to do is joint (merge) the two arrays to simply add the header row so that I can then print it on the PDF. Hope this makes sense... :P
