$p{"Bryan"}{"age"} = 31





Is there anything wrong with out of the blue making a statement like this:

$p{"Bryan"}{"age"} = 31;

I thought perl required me to use the anonymous hash composer:

$p{"Bryan"} = { "age" => 31 };

.... but the first example seems to work. So I was just wondering if that's
okay, or if it's a no-no.

(I'm learning PHP now, and there seem to be a lot of no-nos in PHP that
aren't intuitive.)
