Idiom #194 Circular shift of a two-dimensional array

Given an array a, set b to an array which has the values of a along its second dimension shifted by n. Elements shifted out should come back at the other end.

my @a = (
    ['a' .. 'g'],
    ['h' .. 'm'],
    ['n' .. 'z']
);
my $n = 5;
my @b = map {
    my @c = @$_;
    push @c, splice @c, 0, $n;
    \@c;
} @a;
__END__
@b = (
    ['f', 'g', 'a' .. 'e'],
    ['m', 'h' .. 'l'],
    ['s' .. 'z', 'n' .. 'r']
)

@c is a copy to avoid splice operating destructively on @a
b = cshift(a,n,dim=2)
