I don't know ;( this is what I get (still weird)
update: did you mean to call here (foreach my $key ( %{ $allusers{ users } } ))? 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my %allusers = (
        'users' => {
                'user' => 'Test Account',
                '*Crudles' => 'Hello World',
                'Crud' => 'Another Test',
                '*test' => 'Crud User'
        }
);

foreach my $key ( %{ $allusers{ users } } )
{
    delete $allusers{ users }{ $key } if '*' eq substr $key, 0, 1;
}
