NAME

       Coro::Storable - offer a more fine-grained Storable interface

SYNOPSIS

	use Coro::Storable;

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements a few functions from the Storable module in a way so that it cede's more often. Some applications (such as the
       Deliantra game server) sometimes need to load large Storable objects without blocking the server for a long time.

       This is being implemented by using a perlio layer that feeds only small amounts of data (4096 bytes per call) into Storable, and
       "Coro::cede"'ing regularly (at most 100 times per second by default, though).

       As Storable is not reentrant, this module also wraps most functions of the Storable module so that only one freeze or thaw is done at any
       one moment (and recursive invocations are not currently supported).

FUNCTIONS

       $ref = thaw $pst
	   Retrieve an object from the given $pst, which must have been created with "Coro::Storable::freeze" or
	   "Storable::store_fd"/"Storable::store" (sorry, but Storable uses incompatible formats for disk/mem objects).

	   This function will cede regularly.

       $pst = freeze $ref
	   Freeze the given scalar into a Storable object. It uses the same format as "Storable::store_fd".

	   This functino will cede regularly.

       $pst = nfreeze $ref
	   Same as "freeze" but is compatible to "Storable::nstore_fd" (note the "n").

       $pst = blocking_freeze $ref
	   Same as "freeze" but is guaranteed to block. This is useful e.g. in "Coro::Util::fork_eval" when you want to serialise a data structure
	   for use with the "thaw" function for this module. You cannot use "Storable::freeze" for this as Storable uses incompatible formats for
	   memory and file images, and this module uses file images.

       $pst = blocking_nfreeze $ref
	   Same as "blocking_freeze" but uses "nfreeze" internally.

       $guard = guard
	   Acquire the Storable lock, for when you want to call Storable yourself.

	   Note that this module already wraps all Storable functions, so there is rarely the need to do this yourself.

NAME

       MooseX::Storage::Format::Storable - A Storable serialization role

SYNOPSIS

	 package Point;
	 use Moose;
	 use MooseX::Storage;

	 with Storage('format' => 'Storable');

	 has 'x' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');
	 has 'y' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');

	 1;

	 my $p = Point->new(x => 10, y => 10);

	 ## methods to freeze/thaw into
	 ## a specified serialization format

	 # pack the class with Storable
	 my $storable_data = $p->freeze();

	 # unpack the storable data into the class
	 my $p2 = Point->thaw($storable_data);

DESCRIPTION

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

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

METHODS

       freeze
       thaw ($stored)

   Introspection
       meta

BUGS

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