Sharing a reference to something that isn't shared is an error. As threads::share says, 

my $var :shared;
$var = 1;              # ok
$var = [];             # error
$var = &share([]);     # ok

Maybe Thread::Queue should handle references better. Fortunately, it's easy to fix. Just share the referenced hash. 

my %hash :shared = ( ... );
$DataQueue->enqueue(\%hash);

or 

# Fixed as per BrowserUK's reply.
# Initialization must be done after share.
my $href = share({});
%$href = ( ... );
$DataQueue->enqueue($href);

or 

use Storable qw( freeze thaw );
my %hash = ( ... );
$DataQueue->enqueue(freeze(\%hash));

Untested.

Update: Added Storeable snippet. Rephrased some text.
