Thanks guys, I think I've got it now. I simplified the
Dumper call and just pass refs around, which I think is what demerphq was talking about. The new _read and _write are:
# ----- private subs -----
sub _write { # still need to deal with race conditions
my $file = $_[0]->{FILE} ;
open (FH, "> $file") or die "Can't open $file for FileHash _write:
+ $!";
print FH Dumper($_[0]->{DATA});
close FH or die "Can't close $file for FileHash _write: $!";
}
sub _read { # still need to deal with race conditions
my $file = shift;
return undef unless -f $file;
my $ret;
unless ($ret = do $file) {
warn "couldn't parse $file: $@" if $@;
warn "couldn't do $file: $!" unless defined $ret;
}
return $ret;
}
Now I have to read up on writing methods...

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).

are good places to start.
