Hi, I came to a little problem trying to "thaw" a hash with storable. In fact I'm somehow forced to use a hash that contains this serialised (freezed) hash, and then pass it to XML::Simple as to make an xml document with this.
So, what I do is something like $parsedMsg->{'container'}->{'serialised'} = freeze(dclone($hash)); # after having set my parsing parameters in XMLin object: $xmlString = XML::Simple::XMLin($parsedMsg); Then, from the other side, I just do this: $parsedMsg = XML::Simple::XMLout($xmlString); $hash = thaw($parsedMsg->{'container'}->{'serialised'}); But that just creates a lot of errors. In fact, the xml string is passed via a socket and everything, and I am absolutely sure that everything else than the freeze, thaw and dclone work very nicely cause I also tried it with just a string in the "serialised" element (the string not being serialised this time) and it works. So, the problem, I think, is that the XML::Simple parser doesn't get right xml cause there's a lot of funny characters introduced by the serialisation. The errors I got are: Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/XML/Simple.pm line 1016. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/XML/Simple.pm line 1017. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/XML/Simple.pm line 1018. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/XML/Simple.pm line 1019. Use of uninitialized value in join or string at /usr/share/perl5/XML/Simple.pm line 1000. But this doesn't really matter. So here come my questions: - Am I right guessing the "freeze" function gives a lot of funny characters? - What is the best solution? (make a formatting function to avoid funny characters once serialised, use something else than freeze, or what?) If you have any idea, that may help greatly, Thanks, Yannick -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
