in reply to Anon. array of refs to a range generated list of scalars.

I do think it's strange that perl is genning up an array where you didn't ask for one. Maybe it's a bug.

But besides your map solution, this also works: 
    \( (sub{6..9})->() )

Note that using the ampersand form to call the sub doesn't work. I guess perl decides that you want a ref to the sub if you do that.
(Update; thanks Aristotle.) You could also write that as 
    \( &{sub{6..9}}() )

      Neat! From that I realised that you can also do 

      [\map$_,1..9]

      But yours is much tidier.

      Examine what is said, not who speaks.

    Does too, you have to write \( &{sub{6..9}}() )
