in reply to Reading from memory location

$VAR1 = 'HASH(0x81b2818)';

Try a backslash before the sigil: print Dumper \$string;

Cheers, Sören

    Actually trying it might have been a good idea. 

    >perl -wMstrict -MData::Dumper -le
"my $var = {A => 1};
 my $string = qq{$var};
 print Dumper \$string;
"
$VAR1 = \'HASH(0x3cc06c)';
