README for Net::NISplusTied
---------------------------
The Net::NISplusTied allows you to treat NIS+ tables as if they were perl
hashes, using tie() semantics. It has cultural links to Rick Harris
(
[email protected]) NISperl module, although the design goals were
different. All you can do with Net::NISplusTied is to manipulate NIS+ tables.
If you need faithful NIS+ API implementation, consider using NISperl
instead. The assumption was that one would rarely need to create and delete
NIS+ tables and groups from perl, at least not often enough to be seriously
inconvenienced by having to invoke shell NIS+ commands.
Thanks to SlipNet Inc. (www.slip.net) for sponsoring the development.
