Shouldn't that be $email_addresses{Skud}?  Well I guess so if the following
rules apply...

Is this really advised? 

Hashes and arrays hold _things_. Scalars hold a _thing_. I.e. Scalars are
singular and Hashes/Arrays plural. Seems pretty straight forward. Should we
really want to make the plural of a hash dependant on plurality of the
thing(s) contained in the hash? Sounds like a recipe for unnecessary
complexity.
