Another option might be to just use scalar variables to hold vectors:
my Vector $vector;
my Vector @array_of_vectors;
$vector = 1,2,3,4,5;

Doesn't work for me :-( For me the last statement gives "12".

Hmm... So you'd have to mess with the STORE method of *all* scalars
(i.e. not just the Vector() class) ?
