I have an object which is created with such attributes as 
new ObjectName(
    code => sub { do some perl stuff with @_ }
);

[download]
Now the resulting object is complex and large and takes a fair bit of work to put together so what I want to to is be able to save the object to disk.

The problem though (as you can guess) is accessing the code in the coderef. I want to be able to save it in some manner. Now I don't need to keep the perl code itself. If there's some way of storing the bytecode or anything else that I can at least execute once read back from a file, then I'm happy.

Thanks and cheers
Rick
