[ I had this written before an internet outage. I might as well still post it even though something similar was already posted. ]
First, the solution is to set Purity
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
my $var1 = { temp => "123" };
my $hash_ref;
push @{$hash_ref->{test1}}, $var1;
push @{$hash_ref->{test2}}, $var1;
print Dumper($hash_ref);
my $dump = do {
local $Data::Dumper::Purity = 1;
Dumper($hash_ref);
};
my $VAR1;
eval "$dump; 1" or die $@;
print Dumper($VAR1);
$VAR1 = {
'test1' => [
{
'temp' => '123'
}
],
'test2' => [
$VAR1->{'test1'}[0]
]
};
$VAR1 = {
'test1' => [
{
'temp' => '123'
}
],
'test2' => [
$VAR1->{'test1'}[0]
]
};
But really, Data::Dumper is not the right tool. Storable can best represent Perl data structures. If you want something human-readable, both JSON and YAML cover all the basics.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
