-This module can serve as a transparent interface to any TIEHASH package
-that is required to store arbitrary perl data, including nested
-references. Thus, this module can be used for storing references and
-other arbitrary data within DBM databases.
-
-It works by serializing the references in the hash into a single string.
-In the underlying TIEHASH package (usually a DBM database), it is this
-string that gets stored. When the value is fetched again, the string is
-deserialized to reconstruct the data structure into memory.
