That does not work like you expect because you are assigning the array reference tp
$myval1
Try :
my($myval1,$myval2) = @{$hash{$mykey}};
One elegant (Mmm maybe not "elegant" ;p ) way is to just use the $hash{$mykey}[0]
version and not
muck up the name space and lengthen your code declaring tons of variables.
Just a thought
