[] construct reference to anonymous array, @{} dereferences the array ref. 
finally the array is interpolated inside string.

it is equal to:

  @a = ( 1, 2, 3 );
  print "splatt @a pow";

the only use is to force array context inside string:

  %a = ( 1, 2, 3 );
  print "splatt @{[%a]} pow";
  
but don't think it is usefull (except obfuscation bonus:))
