unfortunately no, but good idea nonetheless ... :)

  DB<39> x @input
0  2
1  7
2  11
3  15
  DB<40> use experimental 'refaliasing'; \$input[1] = \$input[-1]

  DB<41> x @input
0  2
1  15
2  11
3  15
  DB<42> for my $v (@input) { say $v if \$v==\$input[-1] }
15
15

I'm not even sure that experimental feature is even needed...

IIRC one could somehow use typeglob aliasing on array elements.

unfortunately no, but good idea nonetheless ... :) Good catch. I'll add a warning to my answer that first suggested the idea. I'm not even sure that experimental feature is even needed... Correct. `my $inputs = sub { \@_ }->( 0, $x, $x ); for my $v (@$inputs) { say \$v; }` [download] `SCALAR(0x559bb5b21960) SCALAR(0x559bb5b33228) SCALAR(0x559bb5b33228)` [download] I imagine that would Data::Alias can also achieve this.

Correct.

my $inputs = sub { \@_ }->( 0, $x, $x );

for my $v (@$inputs) {
   say \$v;
}
