You could even just write @$aref in your example.
Post deref can be more useful with more complex expressions like:
$myobj->onemethod()->{blue}->anothermethod()->[4]->@* where you can read the thing in the order in which they happen (call onemethod, get the value at "blue", call anothermethod, get the value at 4, then deref), rather than @{ $myobj->onemethod()->{blue}->anothermethod()->[4] } where you read the steps from left to right, and the last one back on the left. I'd use a temp variable in both cases though.
Postderef can also help with slices where $some->{nested}{$complex{struct}}->@{qw<where I want more than one value>} is easier to read than @{$some->{nested}{$complex{struct}}}{qw<where I want more than one value>}. Again a temp variable would be a better idea in both cases IMHO.

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).
