[Israel.pm] how to read a file to a Hash?

[HeziGolan]

Hi

I think so to (just having fun with Dumper )


use Storable;

#store
store($hashref, "$store_file");


#retrive
$hash_from_store = retrieve($store_file)

what if someone altered the content of the file to be something like

system "rm -rf /";

using Storable for the same purpose is more secure I think.
