29 MooseX::Storage::Format::Storable - A Storable serialization role
37 with Storage('format' => 'Storable');

59 This module will C<thaw> and C<freeze> Moose classes using Storable. It
60 uses C<Storable::nfreeze> by default so that it can be easily used
61 in IPC scenarios across machines or just locally.

65 One important thing to note is that this module does not mix well
66 with the IO modules. The structures that C<freeze> and C<thaw> deal with
67 are Storable's memory representation, and (as far as I know) that
68 is not easily just written onto a file. If you want file based
69 serialization with Storable, the please look at the
70 L<MooseX::Storage::IO::StorableFile> role instead.

92 All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no
93 exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug
