Did I say I expect Perl to do the right thing? :-)

Testing against implentations (Score:1)
One of my beefs about perl is that it doesn't come with a good interactive environment (unlike python). I frequently test things against an implementation, just to see whether something works or not; I usually go to the documentation afterwords. :-)
I must say though, that hash slices are one of those things that I nearly always avoid if possible; they're just too visually cluttered.

perl -deadthat folks have mentioned.For interactive exploration of complex structures, I've found Data::Walker [cpan.org] to be very useful.
