You can initialize the attribute with a default value of an empty array. You can then assign to a given index, or you can push to the array with dereference:
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use feature qw{ say }; { package My::Object; use Moose; has keys => ( is => 'ro', isa => 'ArrayRef', default => sub { [] } ); __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; } my $o = 'My::Object'->new; $o->keys->[0] = 'def'; push @{ $o->keys }, 'abc'; say for @{ $o->keys };

Another possibility is to use traits:

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use feature qw{ say }; { package My::Object; use Moose; has keys => ( is => 'ro', traits => ['Array'], handles => { add_keys => 'push', get_keys => 'elements' } ); __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; } my $o = 'My::Object'->new; $o->add_keys('abc', 'def'); say for $o->get_keys;

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord }map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,
