in reply to Storing Data stucture in a File

I'm not exactly clear on your question, but I'm guessing that YAML will do what you need. I've used it with much success (thanks Ingy); there's also FreezeThaw -- I haven't used it, but it sounds like a similar solution.

    Please use Storable, which is core, and under maintenance, instead of the old FreezeThaw, which hasn't been updated since 2002.

      I just looked at Storable on CPAN -- it isn't marked clearly as core, although the Maintenance is now done by the perl5-porters ... line implies that's the case.

      Is there any plan to mark all core CPAN modules as such? I'm sure Perl newbies would greatly appreciate that.
