AFAIK, a hash slice is considered an array and not a list... that's why it begins with '@' :-)

perldata:
If youre confused about why you use an @ there on a hash slice
instead of a %, think of it like this. The type of bracket (square
or curly) governs whether its an array or a hash being looked at. On
the other hand, the leading symbol ($ or @) on the array or hash
indicates whether you are getting back a singular value (a scalar) or a
plural one (a list).
