That's not true. Have you tried running the OP code? The "ugly" syntax is possible, too:
$$href{try}

is the same as

$href->{try}

You can even write

${$href}{try}
($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord }map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,

    No, I didn't unfortunately, but did after I posted my reply (sigh). I was far too quick to assume. Normally I don't do that.
