While many of the other solutions are perhaps a closer fit to your problem, I thought that I would show you a solution that is closer to the code that you tried:
use strict; use warnings;
my @array_1 = ("tom","harry","diana","nick","sally","henry");
my @array_2 = ("play()","eat()","sleep()");
foreach (@array_1)
{
my $action = shift(@array_2);
print "$action maps to $_\n";
push(@array_2, $action);
}
which prints
play() maps to tom
eat() maps to harry
sleep() maps to diana
play() maps to nick
eat() maps to sally
sleep() maps to henry
