Evaling didn't work in this case...

How exactly did it fail? Does the error go away if you precede the eval'ing with my $VAR1;?

I'm going to try serializing and evaling with Storable now.

With Storable explicit eval'ing is not required; just use its store and retrieve functions.

Update: Gah! I entirely missed that in the serialization string the blessing had the wrong class. As tphyahoo kindly points out, no amount of eval-ing will fix this.

    Thanks again tlm. As you can see above, I got the thing working with storable. As to the failure with DBM::Deep, I don't think evaling will help here because, if you look at the Dumper output, it's clear that this is getting blessed into a DBM::Deep object, and LWP::UserAgent is never mentioned.
