I reviewed this older ticket tonight.  Trimming the last post:

So it appears the OP concedes he was attempting something he should not
have.  When I run the attached program -- which throws 'use strict' and
'use warnings' around the OP's code -- I get:

#####
$ perl 27393.pl 
Useless use of hash element in void context at 27393.pl line 10.
X: 1
X: HASH(0x1804180)
Use of reference "HASH(0x1804180)" as array index at 27393.pl line 10.
Use of uninitialized value $_ in concatenation (.) or string at 27393.pl
line 9.
X: 
Use of uninitialized value $_ in array element at 27393.pl line 10.
Can't use string ("1") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at
27393.pl line 10.
#####

So I am amply warned of my bad behavior.  I recommend we close this ticket.

Thank you very much.
