Hash: SHA1
I have written a module to tie a hash to a directory of Storable.pm files.
Would Tie::StorableDir be considered an okay name, or would something else be
better?
Perldoc is as follows:
NAME
Tie::StorableDir - Perl extension for tying directories with Storable
files
SYNOPSIS
use Tie::StorableDir;
tie %hash, ’Tie::StorableDir’, dirname => ’foo/’;
$hash = 42;
DESCRIPTION
Tie::StorableDir is a module which ties hashes to a backing directory
containing Storable.pm files. Any basic perl data type can be stored.
Values retrieved from the hash are tied so changes will be written back
either when all references to values under a key are removed, or the
main hash is untied.
ON-DISK FORMAT
Each value in the hash is stored in a file under the directory passed
as ’dirname’ to tie, with a filename derived from the key as follows:
* Prepend ’k’
* Replace characters outside the set [a-zA-Z0-9. -] with _(hex code)
The format of the files themselves is that of a reference to the scalar
value, serialized by Storable::store.
SEE ALSO
"Storable", "perltie"
BUGS
This module will most likely break under taint mode.
