Sorry if I misunderstood the orginal post.
From the orginal post, if count is less than 998 value will be added to @store_get_dist1, @store_get_dist2 and @store_get_dist3.
If the count is less than 1998 and greater than or equal to 998, the value will be addded to both @store_get_dist2 and @store_get_dist3.
At the time when the count is 1998, there should be 997 elements in @store_get_dist1 and 1997 elements in @store_get_dist2.
In your array of array implementation, When I add 
print scalar(@{$store_get_dist[1]});

[download]
it prints 997 and prints 1000 for index 2. Not sure if this is the expected behaviour.
It should have been 997 and 1997 respectively. Am I missing anything?

Update:
From 
push(@{$store_get_dist[$test_num]},$new);

[download]
to 
for ($test_num.. int((($#all_stores+3)/1000)+1)) {
   #3 to account for 998 1998 and 2998
   push(@{$store_get_dist[$_]},$new);
}

and it should work. A quick dirty hack though.
