Brilliant!

Note that you can swap without temp variables:

for( 0 .. $#$ref ) { my $p = $_ + rand( $n-- ); @{$ref}[$p,$_] = @{$ref}[$_,$p]; }
You can even use List::Util 'shuffle':
sub my_shuffle2 { my $ref = \@_; use List::Util 'shuffle'; @{$ref}[0..$#$ref] = shuffle(@$ref); return unless defined wantarray; return wantarray ? @{ $ref } : $ref; }
