I think (but can't be sure since you didn't post what you tried) that you're
running into a precedence issue.  If you type:

  push $a1ref[0]->[0], "value";

Push will complain since it wants an array as it's first argument, not an
array reference.  The way to get around it is to dereference the array:

  push @{$a1ref[0]->[0]}, "value";

Same will work for any of the array manipulation commands (shift, pop,
unshift, splice, etc).

HTH!
