Obfuscated code embedded on a database table entry?
... sounds good :-P

If i've undestood the problem, i think you can put this:

perl -MDumpvalue -e 'my $dumper=new Dumpvalue; %hash=eval qq(return (k
+ey1,value1,key2,value2)); $dumper->dumpValue(\%hash)'
[download]

In that case, you must store the string 'return (key1,value1,key2,value2)' and then make the eval; in fact something like this:

use Dumpvalue;
use DBI;

my $dumper = new Dumpvalue;
my $mysql = new DBI(...);
my $mysql->conect();
my $hash_string = $mysql->do('select .. from table');

%hash=eval $hash_string; 
$dumper->dumpValue(\%hash)
[download]

Good Luck!
