You can also use Data::Dumper, which is not as efficient but is human readable.	[reply]

I've got a personal favourite of FreezeThaw which is pretty friendly, and does the job nicely.	[reply]

FreezeThaw will definitely do the job, you might also want to look into Data::Dumper - especially if you want to manually edit the data while it's in the file. `print FILE Dumper(%foo); $bar = <FILE>; %foo = eval{$bar};` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
