<H1><A NAME="description">DESCRIPTION</A></H1>
<P><CODE>Class::Tom</CODE> allows you to transport objects from one system to another
without requiring that the packages the object relies on actually exist on
the other machine.</P>

<DD>
<A HREF="#item_new"><CODE>new</CODE></A> is the objects constructor. It can optionally take the Encoder
argument if you've created a new encoding scheme.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_insert">insert</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
The <A HREF="#item_insert"><CODE>insert</CODE></A> method accepts one of three things as an argument, a) an
CODE reference (such as an anonymous subroutine or a reference to a
subroutine), b) an Object or c) a string that contains the package name.
If you insert an Object then <A HREF="#item_insert"><CODE>insert</CODE></A> returns the id of that object in
the internal object list.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_extract">extract</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
The <A HREF="#item_extract"><CODE>extract</CODE></A> method returns an object that has been <A HREF="#item_insert"><CODE>insert</CODE></A>'ed. The
argument is the Id of the object you insert.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_store">store</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
The <A HREF="#item_store"><CODE>store</CODE></A> method returns the flattened container ready for shipping.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_register">register</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
The <A HREF="#item_register"><CODE>register</CODE></A> method evals each of the methods stored inside the TOM
compartment
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_restore">restore</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
<A HREF="#item_restore"><CODE>restore</CODE></A> is optionally exported, and is used to turn a flattened TOM
object into a real perl object.
<P></P></DL>

<HR>
<H1><A NAME="bugs">BUGS</A></H1>
<P>There are probably loads. I've not had time to test this on any machine
other than my own, so your milage may vary. Remember, this is a beta
version. 3.02 will be the full bugfixed release.</P>
