It depends; ideally modules mucking about as Wx::Bitmap seems to would provide Storable hooks to be properly serializable. (See Storable)

ysth says: It depends; ideally modules mucking about as Wx::Bitmap seems to would provide Storable hooks to be properly serializable Nice, I'd missed/forgotten about those hooks. I don't think it'll work for Wx objects that are subclasses of Wx::Window. But it'd probably work fine for Wx::Bitmap. Here's some untested code for (de)?serialising Wx::Bitmaps... `my $bitmap_data = $wx_bitmap->GetImage->GetData; # serialise bitmap data # later... $wx_bitmap = new Wx::Image()->SetData($bitmap_data)->GetBitmap;` [download] -- simonflk	[reply] [d/l]
