Coro::Storable - offer a more fine-grained Storable interface
SYNOPSIS
use Coro::Storable;
DESCRIPTION
This module implements a few functions from the Storable module in a way so that it cede's more often. Some applications (such as the
Deliantra game server) sometimes need to load large Storable objects without blocking the server for a long time.
This is being implemented by using a perlio layer that feeds only small amounts of data (4096 bytes per call) into Storable, and
"Coro::cede"'ing regularly (at most 100 times per second by default, though).
As Storable is not reentrant, this module also wraps most functions of the Storable module so that only one freeze or thaw is done at any
one moment (and recursive invocations are not currently supported).
FUNCTIONS
$ref = thaw $pst
Retrieve an object from the given $pst, which must have been created with "Coro::Storable::freeze" or
"Storable::store_fd"/"Storable::store" (sorry, but Storable uses incompatible formats for disk/mem objects).
This function will cede regularly.
$pst = freeze $ref
Freeze the given scalar into a Storable object. It uses the same format as "Storable::store_fd".
This functino will cede regularly.
$pst = nfreeze $ref
Same as "freeze" but is compatible to "Storable::nstore_fd" (note the "n").
$pst = blocking_freeze $ref
Same as "freeze" but is guaranteed to block. This is useful e.g. in "Coro::Util::fork_eval" when you want to serialise a data structure
for use with the "thaw" function for this module. You cannot use "Storable::freeze" for this as Storable uses incompatible formats for
memory and file images, and this module uses file images.
$pst = blocking_nfreeze $ref
Same as "blocking_freeze" but uses "nfreeze" internally.
$guard = guard
Acquire the Storable lock, for when you want to call Storable yourself.
Note that this module already wraps all Storable functions, so there is rarely the need to do this yourself.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
