Thanks all of you for your help, which was very prompt.

I think my point is in direct contradiction of 'this is expected behaviour' though -- my post was pretty much about the fact that I didn't expect it!

What you're saying is, this is not a feature request I should make, or some lesser-known option in DBD::MySQL like for instance -- 

    use_table_prefixes => 1

-- it's a feature. I guess I can live with that.

But I still think it's kind of intuitive that, having already distinguished between the fields in order to get the select to work, I shouldn't have to do it twice to get the hashref to work. In what circumstances would my expected behaviour have negative consequences?
