newbie_77 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to use store_fd to serialize an object. The thing is that I open up the file and when I store, it doesn't write anything into the file. I'll post my code to see if anybody can help me: 
open (F, ">$file"); 
###Here I open the file for writing

Storable::store_fd [$class, $id, @attrs], \*F;
###Here I'm trying to store an anonymous 
###array into my opened file but it doesn't
###work.

    It works for me. However, you need to check the results of the open call: 
    {
    local *F;    # for safety
    open (F, ">$file") || die "Can't open $file: $!";
    Storeable::store_fd [$class, $id, @attrs], \*F;    # or just *F wo
+rks
    close F;
}

    The die is the important part. If you can't open the file, store_fd won't do anything.
