Changes for version 0.13 - 2012-10-02

  • Important bug fix, important gotcha! *
  • Work around bug in perls <= 5.8.8: Multiple references to the same object that has overloading were dropping overloadedness on the second and following occurrence. => The work-around for this old perl bug means that we have to bless objects as we find them during deserialization. By default, on newer perls, we only do the bless()ing once after being done with serialization. We normally do this for security reasons (destructors!). This means that for perls <= 5.8.8, we necessarily have the same (very limited) security problem that Storable has at all times. Sucks, but better to have it working on 5.8.8 at all. => For newer perls, we DO NOT have that security problem! => The work-around also slows down operation on 5.8.8 and older. Keep that in mind when comparing serialization techniques. Thank you.
