Parsed as blocks (Score:1)
The expression you're supplying to the debugger is being parsed as a block:
tony@zeus:~$ perl -MO=Deparse -e '{%$r}{@f}'{

tony@zeus:~$ perl -e '$r = { this => "that", these => 17 }; @f = qw(this these); @foo = eval q"{%$r}{@f}"; use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \@foo'
$VAR1 = [
'this',
