Subject: Re: Concerning Marshalling

Hello,

Guy and Joel:  Thank you for your helpful comments, this was exactly
what I was looking for and this was sadly not mentioned in the RDoc of
Marshal :/.  For the moment I had been using YAML, but this will not be
a sustainable solution once the number of objects to dump grows in
size.  Eventually I want to be able to store the objects into a
database based upon a key that is unique per object (all my classes
derive from Managed that ensures a unique identifier)  As for the
references being kept, great!

Ara: Your solution is definitely an interesting one, however I fear
that it is not a sustainable solution for larger projects and the
problem was in more than just singletons, singletons being a symptom of
the problem.

Cheers,
Christophe / vincenz
