$ perl -MData​::Dumper=Dumper -we '@​a=(3); bless \$a[0], "Foo"; print Dumper \$a[0]; print Dumper \@​a'
$VAR1 = bless( do{\(my $o = 3)}, 'Foo' );
$VAR1 = [
  3
  ];

Dumper is willing to show the blessedness of a scalar that it encounters
through a reference, but fails to show it if it encounters the scalar
as an array element. (Likewise a hash element.)

Due to Dumper displaying aliasing, it *can* end up representing the
blessedness of an array element, except that it actually screws up with
the aliasing expression. Whether the blessedness is represented depends
on the order in which parts of a data structure are encountered​:

$ perl -MData​::Dumper=Dumper -we '@​a=(3,0); $a[1] = \$a[0]; bless \$a[0], "Foo"; print Dumper \@​a'
$VAR1 = [
  3,
  \$VAR1->[0]
  ];

Blessed scalar comes before reference​: the blessing is not preserved,
but the aliasing is correct.

$ perl -MData​::Dumper=Dumper -we '@​a=(0,3); $a[0] = \$a[1]; bless \$a[1], "Foo"; print Dumper \@​a'
$VAR1 = [
  bless( do{\(my $o = 3)}, 'Foo' ),
  ${$VAR1->[0]}
  ];

Reference comes before blessed scalar​: the blessing is preserved, but
the expression used for the aliasing doesn't account for the copying
performed by the [...] array constructor.

Similarly​:
