To me that is a confusing example.
I don't see (yet) how/why it should print out "foo".

Why would you want/expect it to print "foo",
when you are using aliased parameters,
and are deliberately emptying the array?
If you really want it to print "foo", just code differently, to have
copies where needed?
perl -Mv5.28 -wE'my @a=("foo"); sub t {@{$_[0]}=(); say $_[1];} t(\@a,
"$a[0]");'
foo
perl -Mv5.28 -wE'my @a=("foo"); sub t ($p1, $p2) {@$p1=(); say $p2;}
t(\@a, $a[0]);'
foo
