in thread how to alias a subset of an array

No, sub aliasing is well-defined and not going away and so isn't a problem.

But support for aliases in Perl 5 is very limited and making use of it over long spans will eventually lead to frustration (as well as surprising a lot of people that might try to maintain your code in future). So I certainly don't recommend it. Over short enough of a distance, it might be a reasonable route to take.
