A database cannot save a Perl hash (and certainly not a hash of array-refs)in its native format.
A database should have no problem with a hash. For instance, PostgreSQL has hstore [1], which not only makes implementing a hash easy, but can also index them (with either GIN (speed of lookup) or GiST (speed of writing)).
You will have to review and revise your database schema
Perhaps revise not 'database schema' but just 'database'... ;-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
