Hmmm ... this works for me with no comments from perl:

use strict;
use warnings;

my @foo = ( 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 );
my @bar = ( 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 );

print STDOUT my @baz = map { ( $_ , shift @bar ) } @foo;

I originally had a problem with `uninitialized' warnings when trying to reproduce your problem but it turned out to be because I had

[ ... stuff ... ]
my @baz = map { ( $_ , shift @bar ) } @foo;

print STDOUT my @baz = map { ( $_ , shift @bar ) } @foo;

This, of course, eats up @bar the first time so there's nothing left to shift the second time. :(

What's on your lines 1 and 2?

As for the general problem of warnings, I only turn warnings off for short one-shot scripts that I know will work even though I wrote bad code. Or, rather, I ignore them unless they get in the way of the output.

I've never encountered a warning (from perl) that wasn't justified so if I'm doing anything at all important I eliminate them.
