Yes, but you can still use an ArrayRef, with the square brackets: 

    scalar_and_array_sub($foo, $bar, [@values[1..5]]);
    scalar_and_array_sub($foo, $bar, [$value1, $value2, $value3]);
    scalar_and_array_sub($foo, $bar, [split(/\s/, $string)]);

But I agree with you, if you don't pass too many arguments, you should use an Array instead of an ArrayRef.

Testing never proves the absence of faults, it only shows their presence.
