In the real use case I am writing to and reading from Memcache. I tried to serialize the data with YAML and JSON which turned out to be far too slow. I followed your suggestion and am now converting dates to strings and parsing them at the receiving end which works fine. Cheers, Florian -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
