in reply to Retrieving a single value from a Tie::IxHash object

FWIW, the documentation DOES say:
If a single argument is given, returns the single value corresponding to the index. This is usable in either scalar or list context.

                All power corrupts, but we need electricity.

    Shoulda RTFM more closely. $hash->FETCH is the method I needed.

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

    I should have tested this more thoroughly. No matter what I put in the for the argument to Values, it always returns the first element.

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;
