Too many ideas! It would have helped if @mda was built in valid Perl
syntax and referred to the arrays that you say it must be built from.
Here's a starting point:
my @one = qw(A B C D);
my @two = qw(E F G H);
my @mda;
my $i = 0;
foreach (@one) {
push @mda, [$one[$i], $two[$i]];
$i++;
}
but /please/ go back a few steps and explain what you want you're
trying to do. I doubt that putting characters 'A' .. 'H' into
an array is your goal. What you're starting with and what end you
have in mind is fundamental. Abstract as little as you can.
