=head1 NAME
Storable - persistence for Perl data structures
Canonical order does not imply network order; those are two orthogonal
settings.
+=head1 CODE REFERENCES
+
+Since Storable version 2.05, CODE references may be serialized with
+the help of L<B::Deparse>. To enable this feature, set
+C<$Storable::Deparse> to a true value. To enable deserialization,
+C<$Storable::Eval> should be set to a true value. Be aware that
+deserialization is done through C<eval>, which is dangerous if the
+Storable file contains malicious data. You can set C<$Storable::Eval>
+to a subroutine reference which would be used instead of C<eval>. See
+below for an example using a L<Safe> compartment for deserialization
+of CODE references.
+
+If C<$Storable::Deparse> and/or C<$Storable::Eval> are set to false
+values, then the value of C<$Storable::forgive_me> (see below) is
+respected while serializing and deserializing.
+
=head1 FORWARD COMPATIBILITY
This release of Storable can be used on a newer version of Perl to
Returned value: none.
+=item C<STORABLE_attach> I<class>, I<cloning>, I<serialized>
+
+While C<STORABLE_freeze> and C<STORABLE_thaw> are useful for classes where
+each instance is independent, this mechanism has difficulty (or is
+incompatible) with objects that exist as common process-level or
+system-level resources, such as singleton objects, database pools, caches
+or memoized objects.
+
+The alternative C<STORABLE_attach> method provides a solution for these
+shared objects. Instead of C<STORABLE_freeze> --E<gt> C<STORABLE_thaw>,
+you implement C<STORABLE_freeze> --E<gt> C<STORABLE_attach> instead.
+
+Arguments: I<class> is the class we are attaching to, I<cloning> is a flag
+indicating whether we're in a dclone() or a regular de-serialization via
+thaw(), and I<serialized> is the stored string for the resource object.
+
+Because these resource objects are considered to be owned by the entire
+process/system, and not the "property" of whatever is being serialized,
+no references underneath the object should be included in the serialized
+string. Thus, in any class that implements C<STORABLE_attach>, the
+C<STORABLE_freeze> method cannot return any references, and C<Storable>
+will throw an error if C<STORABLE_freeze> tries to return references.
+
+All information required to "attach" back to the shared resource object
+B<must> be contained B<only> in the C<STORABLE_freeze> return string.
+Otherwise, C<STORABLE_freeze> behaves as normal for C<STORABLE_attach>
+classes.
+
+Because C<STORABLE_attach> is passed the class (rather than an object),
+it also returns the object directly, rather than modifying the passed
+object.
+
+Returned value: object of type C<class>

=head2 Predicates
is expected to contain support for recognising Storable files
out-of-the-box, in addition to other kinds of Perl files.
+You can also use the following functions to extract the file header
+information from Storable images:
+
+=over
+
+=item $info = Storable::file_magic( $filename )
+
+If the given file is a Storable image return a hash describing it. If
+the file is readable, but not a Storable image return C<undef>. If
+the file does not exist or is unreadable then croak.
+
+The hash returned has the following elements:
+
+=over
+
+=item C<version>
+
+This returns the file format version. It is a string like "2.7".
+
+Note that this version number is not the same as the version number of
+the Storable module itself. For instance Storable v0.7 create files
+in format v2.0 and Storable v2.15 create files in format v2.7. The
+file format version number only increment when additional features
+that would confuse older versions of the module are added.
+
+Files older than v2.0 will have the one of the version numbers "-1",
+"0" or "1". No minor number was used at that time.
+
+=item C<version_nv>
+
+This returns the file format version as number. It is a string like
+"2.007". This value is suitable for numeric comparisons.
+
+The constant function C<Storable::BIN_VERSION_NV> returns a comparable
+number that represent the highest file version number that this
+version of Storable fully support (but see discussion of
+C<$Storable::accept_future_minor> above). The constant
+C<Storable::BIN_WRITE_VERSION_NV> function returns what file version
+is written and might be less than C<Storable::BIN_VERSION_NV> in some
+configuations.
+
+=item C<major>, C<minor>
+
+This also returns the file format version. If the version is "2.7"
+then major would be 2 and minor would be 7. The minor element is
+missing for when major is less than 2.
+
+=item C<hdrsize>
+
+The is the number of bytes that the Storable header occupies.
+
+=item C<netorder>
+
+This is TRUE if the image store data in network order. This means
+that it was created with nstore() or similar.
+
+=item C<byteorder>
+
+This is only present when C<netorder> is FALSE. It is the
+$Config{byteorder} string of the perl that created this image. It is
+a string like "1234" (32 bit little endian) or "87654321" (64 bit big
+endian). This must match the current perl for the image to be
+readable by Storable.
+
+=item C<intsize>, C<longsize>, C<ptrsize>, C<nvsize>
+
+These are only present when C<netorder> is FALSE. These are the sizes of
+various C datatypes of the perl that created this image. These must
+match the current perl for the image to be readable by Storable.
+
+The C<nvsize> element is only present for file format v2.2 and
+higher.
+
+=item C<file>
+
+The name of the file.
+
+=back
+
+=item $info = Storable::read_magic( $buffer )
+
+=item $info = Storable::read_magic( $buffer, $must_be_file )
+
+The $buffer should be a Storable image or the first few bytes of it.
+If $buffer starts with a Storable header, then a hash describing the
+image is returned, otherwise C<undef> is returned.
+
+The hash has the same structure as the one returned by
+Storable::file_magic(). The C<file> element is true if the image is a
+file image.
+
+If the $must_be_file argument is provided and is TRUE, then return
+C<undef> unless the image looks like it belongs to a file dump.
+
+The maximum size of a Storable header is currently 21 bytes. If the
+provided $buffer is only the first part of a Storable image it should
+at least be this long to ensure that read_magic() will recognize it as
+such.
+
+=back
+
=head1 EXAMPLES
Here are some code samples showing a possible usage of Storable:
%color = ('Blue' => 0.1, 'Red' => 0.8, 'Black' => 0, 'White' => 1);
- store(\%color, '/tmp/colors') or die "Can't store %a in /tmp/colors!\n";
+ store(\%color, 'mycolors') or die "Can't store %a in mycolors!\n";
- $colref = retrieve('/tmp/colors');
- die "Unable to retrieve from /tmp/colors!\n" unless defined $colref;
+ $colref = retrieve('mycolors');
+ die "Unable to retrieve from mycolors!\n" unless defined $colref;
printf "Blue is still %lf\n", $colref->{'Blue'};
$colref2 = dclone(\%color);
Blue is still 0.100000
Serialization of %color is 102 bytes long.
+Serialization of CODE references and deserialization in a safe
+compartment:
+
+=for example begin
+
+ use Storable qw(freeze thaw);
+ use Safe;
+ use strict;
+ my $safe = new Safe;
+ # because of opcodes used in "use strict":
+ $safe->permit(qw(:default require));
+ local $Storable::Deparse = 1;
+ local $Storable::Eval = sub { $safe->reval($_[0]) };
+ my $serialized = freeze(sub { 42 });
+ my $code = thaw($serialized);
+ $code->() == 42;
+
+=for example end
+
+=for example_testing
+ is( $code->(), 42 );
