Good point. But even if I change it to:
my @array = @h{two};
FETCH doesn't get called in list context (instead it gets called once in
scalar context for each key in the list - in this case once). I can see why
Perl does this and I _almost_ agree that it's the right thing.
Anyway, as I said before, you can work around it with
my @array = tied(%h)->FETCH('two');
If anyone is interested, Tie::Hash::Regex is currently winging its way to
your favourite CPAN mirror.
