I'm afraid I can't really answer to the performance question, but on the off chance this is useful...

I ran into a situation a while back where I couldn't use Storable on a particular platform. I did some reasearch into other freeze/thaw methods, and ended up using Data::Dumper . Freeze by saving the Dumper output, and thaw by eval'ing it again. To my surprise, there are actually a number of useful configuration settings for Data::Dumper with this sort of freeze/thaw in mind. ($Data::Dumper::Freezer for example)

Obviously, data size can be an issue with this solution, so check out $Data::Dumper::Indent. Again, I can't speak to performance, but from the doc: "The Data::Dumper module is a dual implementation, with almost all functionality written in both pure Perl and also in XS ('C'). Since the XS version is much faster, it will always be used if possible."

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
