That's prettymuch it, except that it's not an array of aliases, but

Thanks - I've read the FAQ several times in the past without really getting it, but the perlmonks thread looks promising. It IS subtle, all right. :-/

And it doesn't really make sense to add only the {...@keys} without the
@. You have to consider them both at the same time, because the sigil
you use affects how is the @keys evaluated!

Yes, I see your point.

That exercise helped to clarify it a bit more. Thanks to everyone for helping me!
