This is the use, which would you rather have to type? 
use Data::Dump qw/ dd /;
{
    my @blah;
    $blah[0] = [];
    $blah[0][$i] = [];
    $blah[0][$i][$j] = [];
    $blah[0][$i][$j][$k] = {};
    $blah[0][$i][$j][$k]{life} = 42;
    dd( \@blah );
}
{
    my @blah;
    $blah[0][$i][$j][$k]{life} = 42;
    dd( \@blah );
}
__END__

The same in javascript* where they don't have autovivification 

    $blah[0]                  = new Array();
    $blah[0][$i]              = new Array();
    $blah[0][$i][$j]          = new Array();
    $blah[0][$i][$j][$k]      = new Object();
    $blah[0][$i][$j][$k].life = 42;

* instead of new Array() you can type [] (like in Perl ), and instead of new Object() you can type {} (like in perl)

when we use this autovivification in perl.

All the time :)

Reference Coercion

Using a dereferencing operation on a non-reference turns that value into a reference (Autovivification, pp. 62) is handy when manipulating nested data structures (Nested Data Structures, pp. 61):
