DESCRIPTION

This module will "load" and "store" Moose classes using Storable. It uses "Storable::nstore" by default so that it can be easily used across machines or just locally.

One important thing to note is that this module does not mix well with the other Format modules. Since Storable serialized perl data structures in it's own format, those roles are largely unnecessary.

However, there is always the possibility that having a set of "freeze/thaw" hooks can be useful, so because of that this module will attempt to use "freeze" or "thaw" if that method is available. Of course, you should be careful when doing this as it could lead to all sorts of hairy issues. But you have been warned.

METHODS

load ($filename)
store ($filename)
