In the following Perl code, I would expect to be referencing an array reference inside an array

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my @a=([1,2],[3,4]);

my @b = @$a[0];

print $b[0];

However it doesn't seem to work. I would expect it to output 1.

@a is an array of references

@b is $a[1] dereferenced (I think)

So what's the problem?
