How hard would it be to create a temporary variable where you store the
contents of the file?

################

my $data;
open(INFILE,"<my_file.txt") or die "Couldn't open file for reading!\n";
while(<INFILE>){
   $data .= $_;
}

# OR ###########

while(my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()){
   $data .= $ref->{COLUMN};
}

################

Then you can use $data in your initialization statement.

That's true, but what I need is either:
Data => "<whatever_filename";

or

Data => "< the results of about 6 $sth->fetchrow_arrays"

I don't know how to do either, unfortunately.
