That's ugly syntax. You shouldn't use an array slice when you're getting
back ONE value.
$foo = @bar[$ix];
is better written as
$foo = $bar[$ix];
and Perl will tell you that if you have warnings turned on. Therefore,
you should write either
my $t = $$curr_true[$ev_count];
or
my $t = $curr_true->[$ev_count];

This sounds like $curr_true is not a reference to an array, but rather a
reference TO a reference to an array. Find out where you added that layer
of indirection.
