Subject: Marshal string format

Hello ALL!

Given a class (let's take the Pickaxe example)

class Klass
  def initialize(str)
    @str=str
  end
  def sayHello
    @str
  end
end

o=Klass.new("hello\n")
data=Marshal.dump(o)

p data => "\004\006o:\nKlass\006:\t@str\"\nhello"

What does all the meta-data in string "data" mean? I am thinking of placing 
them into a different datastructure... I need to know what to expect from 
such strings... :-)

[]s

Pablo
