array assignment

[Anonymous Monk]

After doing things like

my ($dd, $mm, $yyyy) = (localtime)[3..5];
$mm += 1;
$yyyy += 1900;

I start wondering if there are any array assignment "tricks" to assign and modify in one fell swoop. For instance to add the elements of two arrays to each other

fake code:
@result = (1,2,3) + (4,5,6);
# intending @result to contain (5,7,9)

or in a similar fashion concat the elements...

Thanks for any insights
