That's fine, as long as $p{Bryan} doesn't exist or is already a hashref.
See: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AutoVivification.
For safety, be sure to "use strict" so you don't end up treating $p{Bryan}
as a soft reference:
$p{Bryan} = 'foo';
$p{Bryan}{age} = '31'; # this is like $foo{age} = 31
Also, the quotes are not strictly required.

That's fine too, but not exactly equivalent.
