The Storable package brings you persistency for your perl data
|
|
structures containing SCALAR, ARRAY, HASH or REF objects, i.e. anything
|
|
that can be conveniently stored to disk and retrieved at a later time.
|
|
|
|
It can be used in the regular procedural way by calling store with a
|
|
reference to the object to store, and providing a file name. The routine
|
|
returns undef for I/O problems or other internal error, a true value
|
|
otherwise. Serious errors are propagated as a die exception.
|
|
|
|
To retrieve data stored to disk, you use retrieve with a file name, and
|
|
the objects stored into that file are recreated into memory for you, and
|
|
a reference to the root object is returned. In case an I/O error
|
|
occurred while reading, undef is returned instead. Other serious errors
|
|
are propagated via die.
