If your object is maintaining a reference to the supplierList, you can just splice it if you want to. The reference remains an intact reference to the same array. But actually, in your code, I don't see why you need to rebuild anything, since you've only modified a hash that is referred to by an array that is referred to by self. You haven't changed the object structure in any way.

As an aside, you've chosen a rather roundabout way to make accessors with that string eval. Why not just use a closure:

sub _create_accessors
{
    my %orderObjectFields = @_;

    foreach my $field ( keys %orderObjectFields )
    {
        my $default = $orderObjectFields{$field};
        no strict 'refs';
        *{ __PACKAGE__ . "::$field" } = sub
        {
            my $value =
              ( scalar @_ > 1 ? $_[0]->{$field} = $_[1] : $_[0]->{$fie
+ld} );
            $value = $default unless defined $value;
            $value;
        };
    }
}
