NAME

Storable::AMF - Perl extension for serialize/deserialize AMF date

SYNOPSIS

  use Storable::AMF qw(freeze thaw);

  store \%table, 'file';
  $hashref = retrieve('file');

  use Storable::AMF qw(nstore store_fd nstore_fd freeze thaw dclone);

  # Network order: always store in network order 
  # and nstore and store are synonyms 

  nstore \%table, 'file';
  $hashref = retrieve('file');  # There is NO nretrieve()

  # Serializing to memory
  $serialized = freeze \%table;
  %table_clone = %{ thaw($serialized) };

  use Storable::AMF qw(lock_store lock_nstore lock_retrieve)
  lock_store \%table, 'file';
  lock_nstore \%table, 'file';
  $hashref = lock_retrieve('file');
