[Nh-pm] Hash Persistence?

  use Data::Dumper;
  print FILE Dumper(%evilhash);

and then to suck it in:

  if (-e $file) { do $file; }

"do" is relatively dangerous in that it sucks in $file and immediately 
executes the code into your application - you can tweak Dumper's output as 
well (naming the hash as you want it, etc.).
