in reply to How to get two array in subroutine

You need to use references. See example here: 
(@listc, @listd) = simplesort(\@lista, \@listb);

sub simplesort
{
   my ($listaref, $listbref ) = @_;

   # De-reference the array list
   my (@lista) = @$listaref;
   my (@listb) = @$listbref;
   # Now you can play with both arrays.
}
