Your code works for me: 
ivy 1003% perl dbmdeep.pl
$$VAR1 = \bless( {
     'TASK_QUEUE' => bless( {
                'DEV' => bless( [
                             bless( {
                                     'FILE' => 'bar1',
                                     'CMD' => 'foo1'
                                    }, 'DBM::Deep' ),
                             bless( {
                                     'FILE' => 'bar2',
                                     'CMD' => 'foo2'
                                    }, 'DBM::Deep' )
                                ], 'DBM::Deep' )
                            }, 'DBM::Deep' )
                }, 'DBM::Deep' );
$VAR1 = \bless( {
                 'FILE' => 'bar1',
                 'CMD' => 'foo1'
                }, 'DBM::Deep' );
$VAR1 = \bless( {
      'TASK_QUEUE' => bless( {
                 'DEV' => bless( [
                              bless( {
                                      'FILE' => 'bar2',
                                      'CMD' => 'foo2'
                                     }, 'DBM::Deep' )
                                 ], 'DBM::Deep' )
                             }, 'DBM::Deep' )
                }, 'DBM::Deep' );
