Hello list,
To day I am trying to figure out the best way to send a hash to a socket and have the receiver be able to use it as a hash.
The best way I've done so far is to Data::Dumper the hash into a string and send the string, then parse the string back into a hash on the other end.
If you are willing to use the Net::EasyTCP module, it uses hashes to communicate. I find it one of it's best features.
Storable is another commonly used module for this purpose.
And naturally I couldn't pass up this opportunity to mention POE, specifically POE::Filter::Reference, which is one of the few parts of POE that is standalone, aka you don't need a POE kernel running to use it. The interface is incredibly simple, and I have used it extensively. Of course since you are working with sockets, then POE would be great
Thanks! looks like I'm going to take a trip to cpan today :)
for that too ;-)....
