NAME
SPOPSx::Tool::HashField - A SPOPS extension for the storage of complex objects
SYNOPSIS
%conf = (
table_alias => {
# ...
yaml_fields => [ qw/ arguments locals results / ],
# ...
}
);
DESCRIPTION
This allows for the storage of Perl aggregate types in a database field. This uses YAML to perform the marshalling and unmarshalling. This is handy because you can use third-party tools to update the stored data with relative ease and the data is readable even in other languages that have a YAML model. The data structure can be arbritraily deep.
INSTALLATION
Just the typical install tricks will do:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install
or:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Take your pick.
