in reply to Moose and YAML

When I run your script it outputs:
##### Moose obj ##### --- !!perl/hash:Foo bar: barValue foo: fooValue ##### hashref ##### --- foo: fooValue
Did you expect anything else?

Update: Try it with any standard (non-moose) object: you will get the same result. An object is not a simple data-structure: Bless and keys only work their magic on non-object data-structures.

    So how should I work with objects?
      YAML just "works" with objects too:
      use strict; use warnings; use 5.010; use YAML qw/Dump Bless Load/; use Data::Dumper; { package Foo; use Moose; has foo => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Any' ); has bar => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Any' ); } my $foo = Foo->new( foo => 'fooValue', bar => 'barValue' ); print 'Dumper original object: ', Dumper(\$foo); my $yaml_foo = Dump $foo; # Serialize object to YAML my $other_foo = Load ($yaml_foo); # Deserialize to Foo say 'Dumper new object: ',Dumper(\$other_foo); say $other_foo->isa('Foo') ? 'I am a Foo!' : 'I do not know what I am. +';
      As expected it returns:
      Dumper original object: $VAR1 = \bless( { 'bar' => 'barValue', 'foo' => 'fooValue' }, 'Foo' ); Dumper new object: $VAR1 = \bless( { 'bar' => 'barValue', 'foo' => 'fooValue' }, 'Foo' ); I am a Foo!

        Ok... I mean 'work with specific keys of a object'.
