You are right about the scope and actually for my purposes it is not necessary. I shouldn't have included the die at the end as it's output and the modified hash structure is not required. Sorry. perldoc says "The foreach loop iterates over a normal list value and sets the scalar variable VAR to be each element of the list in turn." So I was expecting to be able to use a hash reference as VAR. It doesn't mention aliasing. But as you say, the answer does appear to be No.
