```{index} single: DBI::Gofer::Serializer::Storable ``` # DBI::Gofer::Serializer::Storable Gofer serialization using Storable ## SYNOPSIS ```perl $serializer = DBI::Gofer::Serializer::Storable->new(); $string = $serializer->serialize( $data ); ($string, $deserializer_class) = $serializer->serialize( $data ); $data = $serializer->deserialize( $string ); ``` ## DESCRIPTION Uses Storable::nfreeze() to serialize and Storable::thaw() to deserialize. The serialize() method sets local $Storable::forgive\_me = 1; so it doesn't croak if it encounters any data types that can't be serialized, such as code refs.
