-SQL::Translator::Producer::Storable - null producer for Schema objects that have already been created.
+SQL::Translator::Producer::Storable - serializes the SQL::Translator::Schema
+ object via the Storable module
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use SQL::Translator;
- use SQL::Translator::Producer::Storable;
my $translator = SQL::Translator->new;
- $translator->producer("SQL::Translator::Producer::Storable");
+ $translator->producer('Storable');
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-Uses Storable to serialize a schema to a string so that it can be
-saved on disk or whatever.

+can be saved to disk. Serializing a schema and then calling producers
+on the stored can realize significant performance gains when parsing
+takes a long time.
