=head1 DESCRIPTION |
10 |
|
|
|
11 |
|
|
The perl-object tag in CBOR can be used to serialise Perl 5 objects into |
12 |
|
|
CBOR. |
13 |
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
The tagged value must be a CBOR array with at least one element. The first |
15 |
root |
1.2 |
element specifies a classname to use in Perl (it can, but does not need to |
16 |
|
|
be a string - the stringified form will be used as classname). |
17 |
root |
1.1 |
|
18 |
|
|
The encoder and decoder should serialise/deserialise the object using the |
19 |
|
|
Types::Serialiser object serialisation protocol. For this, the object's |
20 |
|
|
class must have FREEZE and THAW methods that are called like this: |
21 |
|
|
|
22 |
|
|
@constructargs = $object->FREEZE ("CBOR"); |
23 |
|
|
$object = $class->THAW ("CBOR", @constructargs); |
24 |
|
|
|
25 |
|
|
If the class or method is currently not available, the decoder may try to |
26 |
|
|
load a Perl module of the same name and retry the method call. |
