I agree. \%{$self} takes about five minutes to type. $self takes 1.618033989 seconds to type(I timed it.) To use an analogy, 1.618033989 is a lot easier than writing {sqrt(5) + 1}/2. And phi is easier still.
As the author of "Walden Pond" asserted concisely, "Simplify, simplify."

After evaluating the difference between \%{ $self } and $self, I see that you are correct. I see that I am making perl perform a dereference to the same memory location. I will make corrections in my code. Thanks for the input.
Peace Out,
