Not to pimp my own module or anything, but... (Score:1)

Data::PostfixDeref (also a lame name, but never mind) will allow you to write
sub add_args { my $self = shift; push $self->{args}[], @_; }

instead. It has its limitations: there is no slice syntax, because I haven't decided whether $foo->{bar}[][1, 2, 3] is too weird or not yet, and because it's somewhat trickier to implement; and it doesn't allow a direct deref $foo->[] due to the optimizer not getting run on the ops involved.
It doesn't use a source filter, instead it hooks into PL_check[], so it shouldn't suffer from all the 'can't-parse-perl' issues source filters have; nevertheless, I'd still consider it 'alpha'...
