Re: compiling - I guess I took line breaking literally.

Re: my solution - Posted in reply to myself later

Re: overwriting - It breaks, yes, but the input is validated at a lower level. It does leave me open to typo bugs

Re: bad strategy - maybe, convince me...

Re: how could a user possibly cause "not a HASH ref" error -
The situation I had in mind was a query like 'a=1&a=2&a.b=3'

where an implementation may build { a => [1,2] } then try to set $args->{a}{b}=3 
perl -de1
DB<1> $args = {a => [1,2]}
DB<2> $args->{a}{b} = 3
Can't coerce array into hash at 
(eval 4)[/usr/share/perl/5.6.1/perl5db.pl:1521] line 2.

I did get the error type wrong though.
