If you know there's going to be a large number of swaps, why not make a set of array subscripts and swap those around, then output in whatever the final order is?
use strict;
use warnings;
my (@nums, @index, $x, $y);
# CREATE MATRIX
push @nums, [1..12] for 1..12;
# CREATE INDEX
@index = (0..11);
# PERFORM RANDOM SWAPS
for (1..20) {
$x = int rand 12;
$y = int rand 12;
swap(\@index, $x, $y);
}
# OUTPUT IN FINAL ORDER
for $x (0..$#nums) {
print $nums[$y][$_].' ' for (@index);
print "\n";
}
sub swap {
my ($p, $x, $y) = @_;
my $t = $p->[$y];
$p->[$y] = $p->[$x];
$p->[$x] = $t;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
