in thread Modulus by zero?

The documentation is somewhat misleading at this point. Only all-digit scalars are read-only backreferences to captures, while all-digit hashes and arrays are not, not even read-only. But yes, they might be reserved :-)
perl -le '@2 = 1..3; @1{qw(a b c)} = @2; print "$_=>$1{$_}" for keys % +1' c=>3 a=>1 b=>2

Use of @1, %2 and so on is a common obfuscation technique.
