I knew that it would be (and glad that it was) just a matter of time before you posted a Perl6 and zip operator solution.

I've been trying to figure out how to do that (before you made your post) using Perl 6 and the zip operator. Thanks for posting an example. For some reason I was expecting that the syntax should look more like this: 

for( @male Z @female )->[$m,$f] {
    # ....
}

But apparently not. ;) Also, how would you push a stringified concatenation onto a new array? In Perl5 either of these would do WIM:

my @married;
foreach( 0 .. $#male ) {
    push @married, "$male[$_] $female[$_]";
}
# OR .....
my @married = map { "$male[$_] $female[$_]" } 0 .. $#male;

# OR with List::MoreUtils::pairwise
my @married = pairwise{ "$a $b" } @male, @female;

...or you could forgo interpolation and use the (.) dot operator.

I've been puzzling over a Perl6-ish, Zip-operator-ish way to do the same.
