Sorry, but Embperl converts it to a string. There is currently no chance to
get the hash back.

Of course you can store the hash else where and return only a string and
retrive the hash from this other location.

E.g.

[-

$hashstore::error = \%hash ;
die "FIXME" ;

-]


And

foreach (@errors) {
    if (/FIXME/) {
      # respond to this error
        $hashstore::error -> holds the error
    }
}

That is not quite as elegant as returning hashs directly, but it should
work.
