in reply to Autovivification and soft refs
I don't think this is worrying at all, at least not as worrying as any other use of soft references. Cases 4 and 5 end up creating a symbolic ref. Data::Dumper doesn't look at symbolic refs, although it would show the result of autovivification if you had it dump %main:: instead.
So in truth, autovivification is occuring, but Data::Dumper isn't showing it.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.
