Now why on earth would you want to do that? Perl 5 doesn't.
By the way, I trust this will be addressed (if it hasn't been already):
perl5 -le 'print "gah!" if exists $a{b}{c}; print "phooey!" if exists $a{b}'
perlfunc says:
This surprising autovivification in what does not at first--or even
second--glance appear to be an lvalue context may be fixed in a future
release.
