Is there any reason why you can't read in the data when the module is loaded, and assign it when you need to?!? ie:

package mod_name;

{
  local $/;
  @mod_name::TableTemplate = map {chomp; hex} split ' ', <DATA>;
  close DATA;
}

my @Table = @mod_name::Table_Template;

Or am I missing something completely obvious ?!?
