1. "assigning $r->method" does not invoke any context.
In this case, the context is "we are inside a hash".

It's just a list which knows that its elements are "coupled" 2 by 2.
As a consequence, inside a hash you are in list context.
3. In this list context, any method that is context-sensitive will
return a list.
If you want to force your method to return a scalar anyway,
you have to use the scalar() function.
Is that clear?
If not, which part is not clear?
Yes, clearer, thanks. My understanding was that, yes, a hash is a list
but I mistakenly assumed it meant a list of scalars.
