Quoting is not an identity function in Perl.

    Quoting is not an identity function in Perl.

    It's not, but if you're going to use them as hash keys, they get quoted anyway:

    perl -MDevel::Peek -e '$a = 1; Dump ($a); %a = map +{$_}, $a; Dump ($a +)' SV = IV(0x8192edc) at 0x8191dc4 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (IOK,pIOK) IV = 1 SV = PVIV(0x8184888) at 0x8191dc4 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (IOK,POK,pIOK,pPOK) IV = 1 PV = 0x818b5b8 "1"\0 CUR = 1 LEN = 2

    perl -MDevel::Peek -e '$a = 1; Dump ($a); %a = map {"$_",}, $a; Dump ( +$a)' SV = IV(0x8192edc) at 0x8191dc4 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (IOK,pIOK) IV = 1 SV = PVIV(0x8184888) at 0x8191dc4 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (IOK,POK,pIOK,pPOK) IV = 1 PV = 0x818b5b8 "1"\0 CUR = 1 LEN = 2
    No difference.
