First of all, hash autovivification refers to assigning a key to a previously non-existant hash, not assigning a previously undefined key to an existing hash; you are indeed not using the autovivification feature. Second of all, if your problems are assigning to the wrong hash or mis-spelling a key, don't blame Perl's features which, as you say, don't even apply in this case. Why would Perl (or any programming language, really) treat assignment of a valid key to a valid hash (albeit the incorrect one) as an error? Pay more attention while you are programming! That said, this happens at some point to everyone, it's all part of the unjoy of coding/debugging.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
