[Bioperl-l] how to use Storable.pm to save the object?

[Will Spooner]

Hi Sally,

If you mean the Bio::Root::Storable module, then you need to modify 
SimpleAlign.pm to include Bio::Root::Storable in its @ISA array. You will 
then be able to call the 'store' method directly on a SimpleAlign 
object. This can be done within a script, e.g.

---
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Bio::Root::Storable;
BEGIN{
  require Bio::SimpleAlign;
  unshift @Bio::SimpleAlign::ISA, 'Bio::Root::Storable';
}
my $align = Bio::SimpleAlign->new(-verbose=>1);
my $token = $align->store;
my $align_copy = Bio::SimpleAlign->retrieve($token);
warn( "ORIG $align\n");
warn( "COPY $align_copy\n" );
exit;
