> 7) It was suprise for me that when I used "$hash{length}" it interpreted (length $_) as "length";

I was shocked to read that, till ...

  DB<24> $h{length}=3
 => 3

  DB<25> \%h
 => { length => 3 }

... I realized the behaviour is sane (autoquoting of barewords) and that you want it reversed to DWIM magic which is easily avoided with little explicit syntax.

just use parens if you really want to avoid an explicit $_

  DB<33> $_="abc"
 => "abc"

  DB<34> $h{length()}=42
 => 42

  DB<35> \%h
 => { 3 => 42, length => 3 }

  DB<36> $_="abcd"
 => "abcd"

  DB<37> $h{(length)}=666
 => 666

  DB<38> \%h
 => { 3 => 42, 4 => 666, length => 3 }

In this contrived case ( length as a hashkey? ) I'd personally reject anything other than

  DB<39> $h{length $_}= 'best'
 => "best"

  DB<40> \%h
 => { 3 => 42, 4 => "best", length => 3 }

Question Are you possibly unconciously trolling???

Opinion I doubt that ... but keep on trying to entertain us.
