Module to read a dumped file

juo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Does anybody know of a module that can read a dumped file and put it back into a hash structure. Below you can see an example of the code to generate a dumped file of a hash table. But I could not find a module to read the dumped file and put it back into a hash table.


open (STDOUT, ">whatever.dat");
use Dumpvalue;
my $dumper = new Dumpvalue;
$dumper->dumpValue(\%flexlm);
