I bumped into this in 1997 and became convinced list contexts aren't
propagated to the effective sub call. If you look at the above line,
there's something very odd seeming about it anyway, and it's not

In perl 5 at least, *this* is your scalar context.

Good point. But even if I change it to:
my @array

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.
I wonder, could you do

I wonder, could you do some magic with the calling stack so that your

sub FETCH {
print wantarray is , wantarray ? true\n : false\n;
return $_[0]-{$_[1]};
}

An update -
Calling FETCH like this:
$scalar = tied(%h)-FETCH('one');
@array = tied(%h)-FETCH('two');
Does the 'right' thing. So it's certainly something in the tie interface.
