Terminology is a bitch. While it's true that interpreting a bareword as string, which occurs at complile time, is not called stringification, I think it is clear that OP wants `$hash{blahblah}` treated differently from `$hash{'blahblah'}` … only the former should be a syntax terror, something like `use stricter;` .-)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
