From the Storable documentation:

use Storable qw(freeze thaw);

# Serializing to memory
$serialized = freeze \%table;
%table_clone = %{ thaw($serialized) };

Hope this helps.

    Thank you! This worked when I resized the Pipe buffer large enough to contain the array!!!

    Thanks!--Problems remain.

    I tried the freeze/thaw cycle, but I got the error "Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference" when trying to thaw. The code is below:

    use Storable qw(freeze thaw);

my @Array={};
@Array = @{ thaw( $Pipe->Read() ) );

    Any further ideas?

      thaw returns a reference to the data structure it creates (just as freeze takes a reference). Only thing I can think of is that the $Pipe->Read() is returning undef. Unfortunately, I haven't used Win32::Pipe and as such am unable to comment on what should be happening. Perhaps a wiser monk would be able to answer.
