persistent object in perl

Hello Everyone

    I am using Graph::Directed for something and it takes a while to build 
the graph and I thought it would be nice to have a few of them laying 
around on my drive without having to build them every time.  Is there a 
way to take my graph and write it to disk and then read it back into a 
program later?

In python they had something called pickle that did this I think.
