Is this a bug in Perl (nested hash)?

Whoops! Of course, that's what I actually got as well. I processed it
through a Web script which ate up the C: and F: lines as headers, which
goes to show that Perl debugging is not a recommended early-morning
activity.

from http://www.globalspin.com/tryme.vep :
The value of key0 is HASH(0x82c4acc).
The value of key1 is HASH(0x832ad78).

...which is again what I would expect. The expression $hash{key0}{key00}
implies a reference at $hash{key0}, so Perl obligingly creates one. This
might be considered a bug, but I'd rather just see a warning about it.
I'm disappointed that one doesn't show up.
