Dunc,
Check out either of these modules. You can insert their results into the
database and eval them later to restore the structure.

For a simple hash, you are probably better off just using a two column table
and building the hash inside your code since you can manipulate better if
your needs change in the future change.
BTW, keep in mind that your hash can not contain references to 'code', ie
references to subroutines.
