No, you want Purity=1, and Terse=1 is a step away from what you want. Better: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use Data::Dumper;

my $dump;

{
   # Writer
   # -----

   my $hash = {};
   my @ray=qw(bob me other);
   foreach (@ray) {
      %{$hash->{$_}} = (
         one   => $_+1,
         two   => $_+2, 
         three => $_+3,
      );
   }

   print(Dumper($hash));

   $dump = Data::Dumper->new([ $hash ], [qw( $hash )])
                       ->Purity(1)
                       ->Dump();
}

{
   # Reader
   # ------

   my $hash;
   eval "$dump; 1" or die $@;

   print(Dumper($hash));
}
