YAML & Objects

pileofrogs has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

What's the best way to serialize/de-serialize an object with YAML? Is it any different for inside-out objects vs. normal hash-based objects? I need to keep this taint safe (no eval()).

I use Class::StorageFactory. For inside-out objects, you need a method to call that returns serializable data.	[reply]

In pugs, there already is a `.yaml` builtin that does this stuff for you: `class Foo; has $.x; say Foo.new(:x<42>).yaml # --- !pugs/object:Foo # x: 42` [download] To deserialize, use the `eval $str :lang<yaml>` builtin. (Despite its name this does not run arbitrary code.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
