in thread eval that doesn't exec?

Well, maybe you would want to look at B::Bytecode or Storable then. :)
You have moved into a dark place.

    So I can freeze sub ref's and store it, to later retrieval and execution?

      Not universally. Perl doesn't have enough introspection (yet!) to be able to take a compiled subroutine and reliably marshal it.

      When you said "stored" originally, I bet most people just presumed "in a scalar", not "in a database".
