MooseX::Storage and HTTP::Session ... are they friends?

locked_user sundialsvc4 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I suppose that I am still accustomed to the Mojolicious framework, but my question is this ... if I include a Moose object into an HTTP::Session stash, and that object uses MooseX::Storage, do in fact the “Storage” bits get called, or is the object “merely” going to be treated as a hash? To put it another way, are there certain stashing interfaces that are “MooseX::Storage aware” whereas others are not? If not, what is required?

MooseX::Storage is no more magic then Moose is, if you want your MooseX::Storage enabled object to be turned into a HASH ref, you just need to call the `pack` method on it. And to restore it from a HASH ref you call the `unpack` method. As for using it with HTTP::Session, you likely just want to wrap HTTP::Session and either override the get/set methods to watch for any MooseX::Storage enabled objects, or have a special `{get,set}_moose_object` method that handles things for you. -stvn	[reply] [d/l] [select]
