I'm not sure whether that was intentional or not, but as best I can figure out, your example is, indeed, valid Perl syntax. Hang on... *checks* indeed it is.
The long, boring explanation: Take the hash %Magical, look up the key 'Perl' in it. The value will be a reference to an array. You then take the element of the array with index corresponding to the highest index of the array to which $syntax holds a reference. The result is either the name of an existing hash or a reference to one. The result of the expression is a reference to the hash so determined.
