               Foo::serialize($entry)
           }

           sub deserialize {

DESCRIPTION

       This role provides provides a consistent way to use serialization modules to handle
       backend serialization.

       See KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::Storable, KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::YAML and
       KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::JSON for examples.

REQUIRED METHODS

       serializate $entry
           Takes a KiokuDB::Entry as an argument. Should return a value suitable for storage by
           the backend.

       deserialize $blob
           Takes whatever "serializate" returned and should inflate and return a KiokuDB::Entry.
