That's about as concise as you can get it.

A my() declaration can only define an ENTIRE variable; my($x[2]) or
my($y{foo}) is a syntax error.

You can't assign like that.
I've not done benchmarks, but you could do:
return { map +($heads[$_], $vals[$_]), 0 .. $#heads };
but I have a feeling it'd be slower... but you can never be sure.
