I don't think that is true.
Example being:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
my $firstVar = "One";
my $secondVar = "Two";
my @array;
push @array,[$firstVar, $secondVar];
print Dumper \@array;
for my $item ( @array ) {
print join("\t", @$item[0], @$item[1]), "\n";
}
## output ##
$VAR1 = [
[
'One',
'Two'
]
];
One Two
