MooseX::Storage::IO::StorableFile - An Storable File I/O role

  package Point;
  use Moose;
  use MooseX::Storage;

  with Storage('io' => 'StorableFile');

  has 'x' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');
  has 'y' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');

  1;

  my $p = Point->new(x => 10, y => 10);

  ## methods to load/store a class
  ## on the file system

  $p->store('my_point');

  my $p2 = Point->load('my_point');

This module will load and store Moose classes using Storable. It uses Storable::nstore by default so that it can be easily used across machines or just locally.

One important thing to note is that this module does not mix well with the other Format modules. Since Storable serialized perl data structures in it's own format, those roles are lagely unnecessary.

However, there is always the possibility that having a set of freeze/thaw hooks can be useful, so because of that this module will attempt to use freeze or thaw if that method is available. Of course, you should be careful when doing this as it could lead to all sorts of hairy issues. But you have been warned.

All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug to cpan-RT.
