but no dice :( thank you

"no dice" is another form of "doesn't work", which isn't sufficiently diagnostic :) see How do I post a question effectively? 

for my $Ref ( \(my$f), [], {}, ){
    print $Ref, "\n";
    bless $Ref, "XML::eXistDB::RPC"; 
    print "\t", ref $Ref, "\n";
}
__END__

ARRAY(0x3f8ba4)
        XML::eXistDB::RPC
