What's a good abstract persistent object class?

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

I'm working on a module called CGI::Session which will provide some low-level management of persistent CGI sessions. (I know there are others out there, but they don't suit my needs at best or I have issues with how they are implemented.)

The version I have now uses Storable to save the object, but it's going to be written to allow the persistent object type to be descended... so one can use FreezeThaw or DBI etc. instead.

Is there an abstract persistent object class I can use instead? It makes much more sense to write the module that way.

You might like to look at MLDBM, which allows pluggable serialization methods, as well as pluggable storage methods. Basically, you specify what to serialize with (say Storable), and what to tie with (say DB_File), and it gives you transparent persistence.	[reply]
