I don't know, maybe I'm not; I'm just throwing ideas around. It would be more 
transparent than Marshal; I haven't looked at PStore, so maybe it already 
does this, although ahoward hinted that it is intended for exclusively 
web-based programming, perhaps because of the way it is tied to CGI. It's 
quite possible that something like this already exists - if someone knows of 
such a beast, could you let us know since I for one would find it very 
useful.
