I'd love that as well. For example, when persisting Cache::Object instances I manually strip out transient (in this case, it is re-creatable) data such as the name of the key and the size of the object, in order to save space in storage. Sounds like Perl 6 needs a generic notion of Serializable. -DeWitt
