Right. For this, keep in mind that TT calls this function (if
I understand correctly) *always* in a list context, so you'll
get the key/value pairs. Ugh.
If you always want a "TT Hash", you'll have to always return \%hash
even in a list context.
Bottom line is, "wantarray" is dangerous... Unfortunately it's kind of
late to change my code now, but I learned the lesson. ;-)
