You could just as easily return an anonymous hash:

sub foo{
    return ( bar => 'baz' );
}

That is not a hash, but a list (in fact all subs only return lists) suitable for being assigned to a hash, period.

    Fair enough. My point was simply that it needn't be a reference to be an anonymous data structure. 
    perl -e 'split//,q{john hurl, pest caretaker}and(map{print @_[$_]}(joi
+n(q{},map{sprintf(qq{%010u},$_)}(2**2*307*4993,5*101*641*5261,7*59*79
+*36997,13*17*71*45131,3**2*67*89*167*181))=~/\d{2}/g));'
