Also (if I put my pedant hat on, so feel free to ignore!), there's inconsistent use of quotes in that file:

Perl knows that hash keys must be scalars, therefore assumes quotes.
Perl hash keys can be numeric scalars or string scalars, perl doesn't care.
I also notice variation in the use of quotes within the same declaration, and with the use of single- verses double-quotes on values :)
Just goes to show how rich and helpful Perl is.... by not falling over on the inconsequentials ;-)
