Re: Storing Perl objects

Hi,

maybe SPOPS will work, which is an acronym for Simple Perl Object Persistence with Security
which wraps calls like 'fetch' and 'store', and the real code lies in your subclassing SPOPS implementing DBI specific methods for the Postgres DBI (i'd imagine). There are a few other modules on CPAN which you would probably also inherit from and override methods to get them to work.

Unfortunately, I don't know what OO capabilities PostgreSQL has on its own. I suppose that's what you're asking, though.
