Close. It's actually more like:
@hash{split " ", "a $key_b c"} key => [split " ", "a $value_b c"]
That is, the interpolation happens before the implicit split. That's
why
<< $str >>
« $str »
are equivalent to P5's split(" ", $str). And
« @lines »
will interpolate all the lines and then split the whole mess on words.
