"Do What I Mean" and Autovivification sometimes unwanted There just seems to be a fair expectation that 'exists' shall do no harm. That's the whole point of it. If you're simply testing the boolean value I could see autovivification kicking in, but damnit, exists is meant to avoid it. The fact that it only works on the last level of a hash lookup seems similar to having surgery to insert an ultrasound probe on one particular organ so you can passively look at it.
