I tried BSON, I found that it would throw a lot of warnings on basic structures, especially it seems to miss identify some scalars as floats and attempts to pack them as floats causing "argument isn't numeric in pack". I also found floats having widly inconsistent values when encoded then decoded.
Because its so heavily tied to MongoDB, they don't see to really care about having it being able to encode arbitrary data structures (evidence by the fact that you have to pass a hash ref, no array ref allowed). They just want to decode their own binary data as they use it in Mongo and re-encode structures setup the same way.
So I wouldn't recommend it.

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).
