I *think* that what you have encountered is called autovivification, and
depending how you look at it, it's Perl being naughty or nice. There was a
thread on this on perlmonks last week, some moron was complaining that he was
mis-spelling his keys or even hash names and loading up the wrong hashes with
the wrong values, and he wanted a 'no autovivification' sort of pragma. I
told him to stop whining and pay more attention while programming. :)
Gosh, hope it wasn't any of you...
