Forcing a list return from the block works:

 my %hash = map { ("stuff_$_" => $_) } qw(asdf qwert zxcv);

    The block always returns a list. Parens don't make lists all by themselves; something has to provide a list context.

    Anyway, my favorite: 

    my %hash = map {; "stuff_$_" => $_ } qw(asdf qwert zxcv);
