in reply to Writing frozen objects to a browser?

You can ensure the serialized data only has printable characters in it by unpacking it into hex like so: 
    my $foo = unpack('H*', freeze($obj));

Then you can thaw it out like this:

    my $obj = thaw(pack('H*', $foo));

    Looks like the serialized object is getting horked during the pack/unpack. I think I shall need to dig into Storable to see what exactly is happening.
    Any thoughts?
