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

Dear Monks, I've got a hash containing some data like:
%addrRow=('name'=>'Billy','email'=>'billy@email.com','city'=>'NY','country'=>'US');

What I want to do is to have this entire stuff to be stored in a scalar.
And then store the values of this scalar into MS Access via ODBC.

The one way I can think of doing this is writing the scalar into a flat file and then reading it back from the flat file.

Is there a better and more efficient way to do the same?

Thanks in advance
