right, I understand those examples, but what about when $sym is *Symbol::GEN0 ?

Is that hash "hidden" because it's not a simple name?

  DB<2> x $s = Symbol::gensym
0  GLOB(0x96f82b8)
   -> *Symbol::GEN0
  DB<3> x ${*$s}{goo} = 'ber'
0  'ber'
*  DB<4> x \%{*$s}
0  HASH(0x96f82e8)
   'goo' => 'ber'
  DB<5> x *$s
0  *Symbol::GEN0
  DB<6> x $s
0  GLOB(0x96f82b8)
   -> *Symbol::GEN0
  DB<7> x $Symbol::GEN0{goo}
0  undef
*  DB<8> x \%Symbol::GEN0
0  HASH(0x97783c0)
     empty hash
*  DB<9> x \%{Symbol::GEN0}
0  HASH(0x97783c0)
     empty hash
*  DB<10> x \%{*Symbol::GEN0}
0  HASH(0x97783c0)
     empty hash
*  DB<11> x \%{"Symbol::GEN0"}
0  HASH(0x97783c0)
     empty hash

I've tried various ways of using the reference address and haven't found anything either.
