The above will return a reference to the concatenated
array @nospam.a, @nospam.b ... not what you want.

The above is correct. You are simply missing the last step:
de-rereference the arrays:

my ($a,$b) = myfunction();
my @nospam.a = @nospam.$a;	# deref $a
my @nospam.b = @nospam.$b;	# deref $b

Don't get confused by @nospam.a and $a - they are two completely
different and unrelated variables. Could have called them
@nospam.arraya and $a, or whataver.
