try to use some white space in your code. even in short examples it
helps.

learn the first rule of dereferencing. take a reference and wrap it in
{} with the proper sigil prefix. so to deref a hash, wrap it in %{}.
so you are making an anon hash around @a but not dereferencing it. you
need %...@a}}.
then to take a slice of that, you would change the % to @:
@{...@a}}{@r}

that isn't the same. that is a slice of a list. you had an anon hash
which must be dereferenced first before you can slice it.
