DB_File::DB_Database 0.03
------------------------------------
This is the README file for the DB_File::DB_Database packages. Please read it
if you install this module for the first time or if there are
some problems with the module.
This module can handle DB_File database(DB_HASH, key/value pairs) as a table.
It also can create index files(DB_BTREE) to faster the searching speed. It is
an Beta version, use it at your own risk.
Installation:
Perl 5.004 is required. DB_File is required.
To verify the DB_File is installed and work well first is better.
Download the tar.gz, unpack it, change to the DB_File::DB_Database
directory. Then do
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
instead of just perl Makefile.PL, and in your scripts do
use lib '/your/directory';
use DB_File::DB_Database;
You are free to just copy the 'lib' directory where you want it to
have. This should work.
Problems and bug reports:
run the flowering to test the package.
t/1_open_close.t
t/2_read_write.t
If you found any bugs or make any patches, I would be appriciate
to hear from you.
If it works for you:
I'd appreciate any message if you use the module and find it
usefull -- I'm just curious what tasks people use the module
for and what they expect from it. You can of course also
send something more valuable.
