If by a fix you mean sub bar {$bar[$_[0]]} $foo = *bar; $bar[1]="hi";, that does not work to the given spec.
Test it with print "yes" if \$foo->(1) eq \$foo->[1] and you see that it fails for me on 5.8.1. Get rid of the backslashes and it works, but the problem is that Perl's functions are pass by reference, return by value. Therefore the return of bar(1) is a new string with the same value as $bar[1], but you get something different by taking a reference to it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
