## a specified serialization format
## (in this case XML)
# pack the class into a XML string
$p->freeze(); 
# <opt>
#   <__CLASS__>Point</__CLASS__>

METHODS

freeze

Serializes the object into the XML string. Uses NoAttr set to 1 while producing XML output.

thaw($xml)

Deserializes the object from the XML string. Uses SuppressEmpty set to undef while producing XML output.

CAVEATS

Some attribute names/hashkeys (eg. starting with digit) will invalidate generated XML output.
