Perl: How do you dereference an array without creating a copy of the array?

When I dereference an array using @$arrayRef or @{$arrayRef} it appears to create a copy of the array. Is there a correct way to dereference an array?

This code...

sub updateArray1 {
        my $aRef = shift;
        my @a = @$aRef;
        my $aRef2 = \@a;

        $a[0] = 0;
        push(@a, 3);
        my $aRef3 = \@a;

        print "inside1 \@a: @a\n";
        print "inside1 \$aRef: $aRef\n";
        print "inside1 \$aRef2: $aRef2\n";
        print "inside1 \$aRef3: $aRef3\n\n";
}

my @array = (1, 2);

print "before: @array\n";
my $ar = \@array;
print "before: $ar\n\n";

updateArray1(\@array);

print "after: @array\n";
$ar = \@array;
print "after: $ar\n\n";

... has the output...

before: 1 2
before: ARRAY(0x1601440)

inside1 @a: 0 2 3
inside1 $aRef: ARRAY(0x1601440)
inside1 $aRef2: ARRAY(0x30c1f08)
inside1 $aRef3: ARRAY(0x30c1f08)

after: 1 2
after: ARRAY(0x1601440)

As you can see, @$aRef creates a new pointer address.

The only way I've found to get around this is to only use the reference:

sub updateArray2 {
        my $aRef = shift;

        @$aRef[0] = 0;
        push(@$aRef, 3);

        print "inside2 \@\$aRef: @$aRef\n";
        print "inside2 \$aRef: $aRef\n\n";
}

updateArray2(\@array);

print "after2: @array\n";
$ar = \@array;
print "after2: $ar\n\n";

Which produces the output:

inside2 @$aRef: 0 2 3
inside2 $aRef: ARRAY(0x1601440)

after2: 0 2 3
after2: ARRAY(0x1601440)

Is it possible to dereference a pointer to an array without the whole array getting duplicated? Or do I need to keep it in reference form and dereference it any time I want to use it?
