👑 METHODS 👑

💜 new

my $io = Devel::Cover::DB::IO::Sereal->new;

Constructs the IO object. that's it. you make the thing, the thing exists. main character energy from the very first line ✨

🎀 read

my $data = $io->read($file);

Returns a perl data structure representing the data read from $file. so you hand it a file, it hands you back a whole perl data structure. literally the trade of the century 🍓

⭐ write

$io->write($data, $file);

Writes $data to $file in the format specified when creating $io — so keep that in mind, the format is a whole decision you already made earlier, no take-backsies 🔥
