This is a bug report for perl from perl-diddler@tlinx.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.14.2.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

I might consider this a wish list item, but from the standpoint
of consistency, I am filing as a low-prio/low-severity bug...
If you wanna change it, no prob.

>From the wording in perldata, and for the sake of consistency this 
seems like it should not issue a warning nor be a potential candidate
for reserved word interpretation.

> perl -wE 'my $p={};my ($dat, $tim) =  @{$p}{dat,tim};' 
Unquoted string "dat" may clash with future reserved word at -e line 1.
Unquoted string "tim" may clash with future reserved word at -e line 1.

>From perldata, "an identifier within such curlies is forced to be a 
string, as is any simple identifier within a hash subscript.  So
if the above recognizes that 'dat' and 'tim' are simple identifiers
(which it seems to by acknowledging them 2 parseable entities and not
the single entity 'dat,tim', then it would seem that, as in a single
hash, $days{Feb}", keynames should not require quotes.

Currently, a workaround for a hash slice would be to enclose the hash
terms in qw(key1 key2 key3) in the braces, but that's a bit ugly.
