Note Submitter: filefrog@lNuOgSoPpA.Morg ---- Serialization is intended for complicated objects like user-defined classes and resource identifiers (including database connections and file handles); there is no need to serialize the built-in datatypes like string or bool. So saltymeat's warning about unserializing a boolean shouldn't be that necessary, since a boolean can be bassed as a 1 or a 0, avoiding the need for serialization.
