HTTP::Headers::Patch::DontUseStorable - Do not use Storable
This document describes version 0.04 of HTTP::Headers::Patch::DontUseStorable (from Perl distribution HTTP-Headers-Patch-DontUseStorable), released on 2015-11-04.
use HTTP::Headers::Patch::DontUseStorable;
HTTP::Headers (6.05 as of this writing) tries to load Storable (2.39 as of this writing) and use its dclone() method. Since Storable still does not support serializing Regexp objects, HTTP::Headers/HTTP::Message croaks when fed data with Regexp objects.
This patch avoids using Storable and clone using the alternative method.
I tend not to think this is a bug with HTTP::Headers; after all, Storable's dclone() is a pretty standard way to clone data in Perl. This patch is more of a workaround for current Storable's deficiencies.
Yes, that's also one possible solution with the advantage of making Storable work with Regexp object everywhere, albeit with slightly more work for what I needed to accomplish (i.e. make Finance::Bank::ID::Mandiri work). There's an old distribution, Regexp::Copy (last release is 0.06 in 2003, at the time of this writing) which does this, but last time I tried it no longer works.
True. This might be a bug with the client code (e.g. in my module which uses this patch, Finance::Bank::ID::Mandiri). I haven't investigated further though and this is the stop-gap solution.
