I have indeed developed byte order problems, but am not sure how to fix. The windoze client gets the blob, which was generated with freeze rather than store, and sends it using SOAP. The SOAP server gets this and stores it OK, but when I try to retrieve and thaw the blob, I get error "Byte order is not compatible at blib/lib/Storable.pm"
Is this fixable by transforming the frozen blob before sending?
