No. That is a hash-slice. Just as you identify one value of a hash
by changing the % to a $ and putting the value's key inside braces:
$hash{'key'} = $value;
you can identify a list of values of the hash by changing the % to a @
and putting all the values' keys inside braces:
@hash{'key1', 'key2', 'key3'} = ($value1, $value2, $value3);
