in reply to Only perl parses perl hash notation?

According to its manual page, Storable uses 'eval' to deserialize the data, so if you think that "use" is insecure, Storable is insecure as well.

    Storable uses eval only for code references, and only when so enabled. Please to be not raising non-problem issues. Storable is currently the most efficient and safest way to take an arbitrary data structure including blessed references and serialize it for later thawing.
