It sounds like the eval solution proposed earlier is exactly what
you're looking for then.  You can just store the string in your hash
and eval it when you need to print.

Yup!  With a little reworking of how I'm calling everything that worked
like a charm.  Thanks for the help everyone!

Tim.

I dont understand the eval. Why do it when you dont need to:

[trwww@devel_rh trwww]$ perl -we 'use strict;my($d);my(%h) = (1 => \$d);$d="foo\n";print(${ $h{1} });'
foo

Store a reference to the scalar and dereference it when needed, as posted in another reply.
