( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Thanks for jumping into the discussion! :) It's always great to hear from a maintainer.

I'm curious why BSON may not be the right choice. If passing a raw scalar or array is problematic, wouldn't this be a reasonable solution?

encode({data => $some_scalar});

Whether $some_scalar contains an array ref, a hash ref, or a flat scalar, encode would still see it as a hash based document.

But I don't have a lot of experience with BSON. I remember seeing it presented a few years ago at a PerlMongers meeting in So. Cal, and it stuck in my head as a more portable solution for data serialization when the data might contain binary elements.

I was a little surprised to see that there is no (documented) "TO_BSON" means of providing serialization procedures for objects. Is there any plan for that sort of hook in the future?

(Sorry to hijack the thread!)

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
