This is something that you're just going to have to accept.  A 
<while ago>, the Perl developers decided that hash keys (and a lot of
other things...) would automatically be stringified.  But they still
wanted to encourage people to quote their own strings; thus the
warnings that you (sometimes) see.

(actually, this had to do with introducing OO abstractions into Perl's
code)
