Re: Packing hashes or complex structures?

Could we pack a hash?

Sure

Would that difficult or impossible to do,

not difficult or impossible

and is there a reason not try pack such a thing?

Might be an interesting toy, but these are wheels for that already (ex: Storable, MLDBM, DBD::SQLite)

MLDBM is obsolete, use DBM::Deep instead. It allows direct access to arbitrarily-deeply nested structures, without having to pull huge chunks of the structure into memory first.	[reply]
