in reply to Research ideas

I'd like to see a module that can take a code reference and dump out a rough approximation of the code that created it.

It would end up something like Data::Dumper or Storable, but it would allow me to serialize highly complex data structures.

I guess the tricky bits are closures and code with eval EXPR bits in them. It's still worth some research, in my opinion.

    I believe Damian Conway is working on something like this. Doing incredibly weird things with closures and such that are far beyond my understanding. Definately worth the effort, however.
