If it is a combination of predefined values consisting of both numeric and string values nicely stashed up in a structure, I'd suggest using a combination of a serializer like Storable and a simple binary-text converter like builtin pack.
use Storable qw( nfreeze thaw );
my $game_data = {
score => 1425,
hits => 3,
name => "Supernova",
accuracy => 0.34,
:
:
};
my $enc = unpack "H*" => nfreeze ({ game_data => $game_data });
# $enc now contains something like
# 05080300000001040300000004088300000004686974730a0953757065726e6f7661
+000000046e616d6509000005910000000573636f72650a04302e33340000000861636
+375726163790000000967616d655f64617461
On the receiving side, other way round ...
use Storable qw( nfreeze thaw );
my $game_data = thaw (pack "H*" => $enc)->{game_data};
It is up to you to decide how <c>$enc gets transported between the games.
Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
