Re: convert 32-bit storables to 64-bit

No. Basically, Storable can only load files created with the same architecture and version of Perl.

You should consider a different serialization format. For example, JSON or maybe Sereal. If you have the CPU and disk to spare, Data::Dumper can also produce output that is highly likely to be loadable on a different machine, architecture and version of Perl.

Hi Corion, may I cite the documentation of Storable: Surprisingly, the routines to be called are named freeze and thaw. If you wish to send out the frozen scalar to another machine, use nfreeze instead to get a portable image. We work with nfreeze a long time now without any known hassle. But, yes, using `freeze` crossing architecture boundaries does make problems. Regards McA	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you for prompting me to (re)read the Storable documentation! It seems that Storable got much better especially with forward compatibility since I last looked closely at it.	[reply]

I think is the same for nstore, or I have to rewrite my portable project??!? ;=) L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l]
