Re^2: Ref to a list not being equivalent to a list of refs to each element

[broquaint]

This occurs for the same reasons given above as

\"foo";

creates a references to a constant value whereas

\"foo$x";

is creating a reference to a temporary value.

If you want to see the evidence then just put Devel::Peek to work (take note of the FLAGS values for the reference):

use Devel::Peek;

my $x = 'foo';

Dump \'foo';
Dump \"bar$x";
