Simple answer is go with mod_perl as mentioned before.

Longer answer: This is pretty much completely untested, but you could overload strigification and use a tied scalar which keeps the coderef and the original code together. Then you can do something sort of like: 

tie $somecode, CodeNRef => qq{print "This is my code\n"};
$somecode->( );
print tied $somecode;

Where the hypthetical CodeNRef package would look something like: 

package CodeNRef;

use overload q{""} => \&print_code;

sub TIESCALAR {
  my( $class, $code ) = @_;

  my $ref = eval qq{ sub { $code } };

  return bless { code => $code, compiled => $ref }, $class;
}

sub print_code { shift()->{code} }

sub FETCH {
  my $self = shift;

  return $self->{compiled}
}

Update: Feh, who needs to play around with tie'd stuff. Just overload &{}. 

package CodeNRef;

use overload 
  q{""}  => \&print_code,
  q{&{}} => \&call;

sub new {
  my( $class, $code ) = @_;
  my $ref = eval qq{ sub { $code } };

  return bless { code => $code, compiled => $ref }, $class;
}

sub print_code { shift()->{code} }
sub call { shift()->{compiled} }
