A fluke.
You're using a key-value hash slice, which is used to obtain a list of key-value pairs from a hash.
$ perl -e' use v5.36; my %h = ( a => 1, b => 2, c => 3, d => 4 ); say for %h{qw( a b )}; ' a 1 b 2
That's not possible in scalar context. In scalar context, it returns the value of the last key.
$ perl -e' use v5.36; my %h = ( a => 1, b => 2, c => 3, d => 4 ); say scalar( %h{qw( a b )} ); ' 2
In other words, it performs a simple hash lookup in scalar context. If you want to perform a hash lookup, it's much clearer to use a hash lookup instead of key-value hash slice.
$ perl -e' use v5.36; my %h = ( a => 1, b => 2, c => 3, d => 4 ); say $h{ b }; ' 2
In context, you used @{ %$hashref{ "To" } } aka @{ %{ $hashref }{ "To" } } aka @{ $hashref->%{ "To" } } aka $hashref->%{ "To" }->@* when it would have been clearer to use @{ $$hashref{ To } } aka @{ ${ $hashref }{ To } } aka @{ $hashref->{ To } } aka $hashref->{ To }->@*. There's already enough ways of doing this that it's easy to say it's wrong to add another level of complexity.
Update: s/hash slice/key-value hash slice/g, as per LanX's reply.
