Storable 3.12_03 Copyright (c) 1995-2000 Raphael Manfredi Copyright (c) 2001-2004 Larry Wall Copyright (c) 2015-2017 cPanel Inc Copyright (c) 2017-2019 Reini Urban Copyright (c) 2017-2018 by the Perl 5 Porters ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl 5 itself. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the Perl 5 License schemes for more details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ +======================================================================= | Storable is distributed as a module, but is also part of the official | Perl core distribution, as of perl 5.8. | Maintenance is partially done by the perl5-porters, and for cperl by cPanel. | We thank Raphael Manfredi for providing us with this very useful module. +======================================================================= +======================================================================= | Don't use any p5p provided Storable <= 3.12. They are all insecure and | the upstream maintainers p5p refuse to accept bugreports and fixes. | Install it with `cpan RURBAN/Storable-3.12_03.tar.gz` +======================================================================= The Storable extension brings persistence to your data. You may recursively store to disk any data structure, no matter how complex and circular it is, provided it contains only SCALAR, ARRAY, HASH (possibly tied) and references (possibly blessed) to those items. At a later stage, or in another program, you may retrieve data from the stored file and recreate the same hiearchy in memory. If you had blessed references, the retrieved references are blessed into the same package, so you must make sure you have access to the same perl class than the one used to create the relevant objects. There is also a dclone() routine which performs an optimized mirroring of any data structure, preserving its topology. Objects (blessed references) may also redefine the way storage and retrieval is performed, and/or what deep cloning should do on those objects. To compile this extension, run: perl Makefile.PL [PERL_SRC=...where you put perl sources...] make make install There is an embedded POD manual page in Storable.pm. Storable was written by Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> Maintenance is now done by cperl, https://github.com/rurban/Storable/ Note that p5p still ships an old broken version, without stack overflow protection and large object support. As long as you don't store overlarge objects, they are compatible. Please e-mail us with problems, bug fixes, comments and complaints, although if you have complements you should send them to Raphael. Please don't e-mail Raphael with problems, as he no longer works on Storable, and your message will be delayed while he forwards it to us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks to (in chronological order): Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi> Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@charly.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> Benjamin A.
