in thread package namespace manipulation

You're right, but that's why I'm dereferencing it to find out if there's a live SCALAR at the end. Your example doesn't actually match what's coded; try: 
    perl -wle 'print "Yep" if defined ${*{"NOSUCH"}{SCALAR}}'

    Oh, my mistake; thanks for the correction.

    It still seems to me that it would be simpler to write defined ${$fqvar} instead of defined ${*{$fqvar}{SCALAR}} however.
