Dunno if it's of any use, especially as I haven't documented it yet, but I wrote a module for concurrent use of DBM's using Tom Christiansen locking and XML-style flattening of data structures: http://spiderboy.net/perl/WebDB.pm The major limitation is that every list needs a key, so you can't have a list of a list, but you can have a hash of a list of a hash of a list. I'm not sure where the module is headed. Use at your own risk. -Hao ==== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ==== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-anyperl-request@macperl.org
