There is? Completely forgot about that. If I recall the big wish list item I had for your serializer was robust subclass handling for things like serializing a BaseClass[] with a mix of pointers to BaseClass and DerivedClass. You need to be able to de-serialize that by saying something like unserialize!(BaseClass[]). I think at the time I tried it, your serializer didn't save enough info to know the proper derived class to load up. --bb
