$serializer = DBI::Gofer::Serializer::Storable->new(); $string = $serializer->serialize( $data ); ($string, $deserializer_class) = $serializer->serialize( $data ); $data = $serializer->deserialize( $string );
The serialize() method sets local $Storable::forgive_me = 1; so it doesn't croak if it encounters any data types that can't be serialized, such as code refs.
