+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.")
