=head1 NAME
DBI::Gofer::Serializer::Base - base class for Gofer serialization
=head1 SYNOPSIS
$serializer = $serializer_class->new();
$string = $serializer->serialize( $data );
($string, $deserializer_class) = $serializer->serialize( $data );
$data = $serializer->deserialize( $string );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
DBI::Gofer::Serializer::* classes implement a very minimal subset of the L<Data::Serializer> API.
Gofer serializers are expected to be very fast and are not required to deal
with anything other than non-blessed references to arrays and hashes, and plain scalars.
