Storable freeze/thaw losing object methods

I am writing an IPC shell module to provide interprocess runtime hooks. I am using freeze and thaw from the Storable module to pass Command objects over a socket on localhost. Before freezing the object, these methods are available:

RETURN_IN_ORDER GetOptions DESTROY run AUTOLOAD ISA BEGIN PERMUTE isa new _init REQUIRE_ORDER

However, after thawing, only AUTOLOAD and DESTROY are available.

Here is the code for sending the frozen object over the socket (I've ensured send is working properly)

$self->{channel}->send(freeze(\$command));
[download]

And for unthawing (again, I know receive_nb to work properly)

my $command = thaw($self->{channel}->receive_nb());
[download]

Have you checked the size of what you receive is the same as the size of what you send?

I have not, but my assumption was if the serialized object was getting truncated in the process, it would no longer be unserializable (dangerous assumption since I haven't looked into how freeze/thaw work). How can I check the size of an object?	[reply]

How can I check the size of an object? Check the size of the transmission: `my $toSend = freeze(\$command ); print length $toSend; $self->{channel}->send( $toSend ); ... my $received = $self->{channel}->receive_nb(); print length $received; my $command = thaw( $received );` [download] But ikegami's probably hit the nail on the head. Have you used the class at the receiver?

Objects don't have methods; classes do. Did you load the module providing the class?	[reply]
Re^2: Storable freeze/thaw losing object methods by unix_hacker_beard (Novice) on Nov 22, 2011 at 21:24 UTC
Yes, I did provide the module.	[reply]

You were correct. I had neglected to require the module once more in the separate process. Thank you!	[reply]
