Push is a CORE:: subroutine which you can override, please check perlsub

This is off topic. I wanted to ignore the push example to avoid going off topic.

push is a named operator, which Perl calls "built-in function" or just "function". There are number of differences between subroutines and functions.

As for CORE::push, it's very special. It's both a subroutine and a function depending how it's used. \&CORE::push returns a code ref, so it acts as a subroutine. But CORE::push(...) results in a push operator, not a subroutine call.

well the constant gets always at runtime a reallocated space, while the arrayref doesn't!!!

You haven't shown that the array ref doesn't get reallocated. To do so, you'd have to show that the array doesn't happen to get reallocated at the same memory address. All you have is a theory. One that's provably false. 

    my $code= <<"__EOC";
    my \@x;                  <-- added
    for (1..3) {
    $_call_
        print "\\n\\t"; 
    for (1..3) {
        $_call_
        push \@x, 'x';       <-- added
    }
    print "\\n";
    }

And that brings me back to my earlier answer. The behaviour is not intentional. It's a fluke and relying on it is dangerous.
