I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for how to properly use memcached (http://www.danga.com/memcached/) with DBIx::Class.

When one tries to store a resultset in memcached, you get the error "Can't store CODE items", which makes sense.

It seems like I really only have one choice, which is to create a string/arrayref/hashref of the data returned from the resultset before storing it in memcached and using it in my code. But that feels a little ugly to me.

Any ideas?

PS - I'm running running both DBIx::Class and Cache::Memcached under Catalyst, if it matters.

IIRC the CODE segment it is refereeing to is in fact the dbh deep down in storage.

In the -current branch (which is due for release soon) we completely refactored how objects and result sets keep hold of their ResultSource's. Instead of storing a direct reference to a ResultSource, they now store a tuple of (source_name,schema)

This has the added benefit that you can store only the source_name when you put an RS into memcached, and re-attach it to the schema when you read it out.

<http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/trac/bast/browser/branches/DBIx-Class-current/lib/DBIx/Class/ResultSourceHandle.pm>

The above file has freeze and thaw hooks for Storable, but bear in mind that the schema is not automatically reattached (couldn't work out a good way of doing it) so you'd have to come up with a way of expressing it or just do something hacky like:

$newly_thawed_obj->_source_handle->schema($schema);

But please don't do that, cos it will break horribly in all kinds of cases.
