MooseX::Storage::Format::Storable - A Storable serialization role
=head1 VERSION
version 0.49
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package Point;
use Moose;
use MooseX::Storage;
with Storage('format' => 'Storable');
has 'x' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');
has 'y' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');
1;
my $p = Point->new(x => 10, y => 10);
## methods to freeze/thaw into
## a specified serialization format
# pack the class with Storable
my $storable_data = $p->freeze();
# unpack the storable data into the class
my $p2 = Point->thaw($storable_data);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
=for stopwords IPC
This module will C<thaw> and C<freeze> Moose classes using Storable. It
uses C<Storable::nfreeze> by default so that it can be easily used
in IPC scenarios across machines or just locally.
=for stopwords Storable's
One important thing to note is that this module does not mix well
with the IO modules. The structures that C<freeze> and C<thaw> deal with
are Storable's memory representation, and (as far as I know) that
is not easily just written onto a file. If you want file based
serialization with Storable, the please look at the
L<MooseX::Storage::IO::StorableFile> role instead.
