ObjStore       Rm+O  ObjectStore OODBMS Interface                 JPRIT

Interface to ObjectStore OODBMS (http://www.odi.com).  Stores perl
data directly in the database without flattening of either nested or
cyclic structures.  ** Includes INTERACTIVE PERL SHELL for examining and
editing arbitrary databases. **  Virtual memory mechanism is used to
make
access nearly as fast as memory mapped files.

Available via http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/ObjStore
