serialize array of references from $sth->fetchall_arrayref

[Filippo]

hello,
I want to serialize and save on disk data structures from database
query. The object are array of references to array so that

$object->->[j]

is the inner element

1) how can I serialize and un-serialize?
2) is it possible to save it encrypted on disk?

Thanks,

Filippo

Traditionally you'd use Storable or FreezeThaw

2) is it possible to save it encrypted on disk?

combined with an encryption module, eg Crypt::Blowfish.

However, I've just come across

Data::Serializer

which kills two birds with one stone by wrapping serialization
and encryption into one interface. I have no idea how good it is.
