I have been working ona job schedular for some time and came up with the idea of having a option to store schedule data as XML

However obviously the code part produces an error Can't encode a value of type: CODE at C:\ROBERT\psch\formonks.pm line 45

Anyone approched something like this before below is a small section of code.

use strict;
my $inv870 = new Job("INV870","perl INV870.pl","172.**.***.**",sub{
                                                                   #do
+something after the job
                                                                   });
my $suite = new Suite('AMREPS',[$inv870]);
print $suite->xml;

package Job;
sub new {
  my $class    = shift;
  my $name     = shift;
  my $command  = shift;
  my $location = shift;
  my $afterhook= shift;
  
  my $data = {UNIQUENAME   => $name,
              COMMAND_LINE => $command,
              LOCATION     => $location,
              HOOK         => $afterhook};
  
  my $self = bless $data, $class;
  return $self;
}
1;

package Suite;
use XML::Simple;
sub new {
  my $class = shift;
  my $name = shift;
  my $jobarray = shift;
  
  my $data = {UNIQUENAME  => $name,
              JOBS        => $jobarray};
  
  my $self = bless $data, $class;
  return $self;
  
}

sub xml{
  
  my $class = shift;
  return XMLout($class);
  
}
1;
