It also depends on the extent to which you need to preserve the
original arrays.
Again assuming we're trying to put the arrays side-by-side (not
interleaved, the OP gave us _no_ clue) you could simply combine the
arrays thus:
push @Arr1,@Arr2;
push @Arr3,@Arr4;
push @$_, @{shift @Arr3} for @Arr1;
This would destroy some of the original arrays and end up with all the
data in @Arr1.
(You may want to swap the roles of @Arr3 and @Arr2 above)
