I am getting some unexpected results

code 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my ( $broken, $works );
my @list = qw( this that another );

for ( @list ) {
    $broken->{'this'}    = $_ eq 'this' ? 1 : 0;
    $broken->{'that'}    = $_ eq 'that' ? 1 : 0;
    $broken->{'another'} = $_ eq 'another' ? 1 : 0;
}

for ( @list ) {
    $works->{'this'}    = 1 if $_ eq 'this';
    $works->{'that'}    = 1 if $_ eq 'that';
    $works->{'another'} = 1 if $_ eq 'another';
}

print Dumper $broken, $works;

I expected all the keys to be 1 in this case on the broken hash ref, but two of the 0's got through. I like the ternary operator but I think I made it angry, any thoughts?
