Its worse then that... your tests do the same amount of abuse. Have you considered doing this with a closure?

sub getAnyAll
{
    my $code = shift;
    my $Any = sub {
        my @A = @{$_[0]}; # I like to dereference early, it makes
        my @B = @{$_[1]}; # the rest of the code more readable.
        while( @A and @B )
        {
            return 1 if &$code( pop(@A), pop(@B) )
        }
        return 0 
    };

    my $All = sub {
        my @A = @{$_[0]};
        my @B = @{$_[1]};
        while( @A and @B )
        {
            return 0 unless &$code( pop(@A), pop(@B) )
        }
        return 1 
    };

    return ( $Any, $All );
}

that's untested, but gives you the idea. By the way... poping arrays passed by reference might not be such a good idea either...
