Actually, I haven't decided on a name for the version I'm going to release.<br><br>I'm considering: Tie::SQL or DBIx::Deep or something like that.<br><br>Right now the current modules are tied into my own webapp framework and need some changes to be made to work independently and thus viable for CPAN.<br>
<br>However, the underlying concept is sturdy and it is something I think a lot of people would benefit from, so my goal is to push toward a release within a month.<br><br>Also, though this module is the thing that other people would find useful immediately. I've been working on some other things that are also very cool and contain ideas that other Perl programmers might want to learn about.<br>
<br>My hope is that I can show some people in Columbus.pm what I've been up to (beyond the "tie" module), see if they like it, and then head toward a release of the whole thing in time for YAPC 2010.<br><br>
On that note, let me put my vote in for the Winking Lizard (on Bethel). What date/time would that meeting be?<br><br>-Mike<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 1:33 AM, Reginald Tapo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:reginald.tapo@gmail.com">reginald.tapo@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br></div>Hello,<br>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br>The big difference between my module and DBM::Deep
is that my module uses a SQL database (like MySQL) instead of flat files.
DBM::Deep has implemented its own locking and concurrency system that is not
likely to be a robust as a real SQL database.<br><br>Other than that the
concepts are very similar. Basically, you do what you want to your data
structures and the results are transparently and persistently stored for
you.<br><br><br>-Mike

<div>> Hello (again) Columbus.pm,<br>><br>> I have developed a
module that is somewhat like MLDBM. In case you're not<br>> familiar with
MLDBM, this module will take a hash and synchronize its<br>> contents
with a DB file for persistent storage. Unlike a regular hash tied<br>> to
a DB file, MLDBM will save entire data structures that are contained<br>>
within the hash keys, serializing them on the fly.<br>><br>> I've
taken that concept a little bit further and developed a module that<br>>
will synchronize both hashes and arrays with a SQL database. Each element
of<br>> the data structure being stored can either be stored as its own
row or its<br>> entire contents serialized (similar to MLDBM). The
process is recursive so<br>> entire structures can be stored this
way.<br>><br>> The upshot is that you can take an entire Perl data
structure, made of any<br>> combination of hashes and arrays, and just
place it into a SQL database. It<br>> works no matter how deep the
structure is and without the need for a custom<br>> SQL schema. Since
Perl's "tie" function is use, once the structure is<br>> stored, it can
be manipulated like any variable, except that changes will be<br>>
transparently stored in the SQL database.<br>><br>> I'm in the
processes of preparing this module for CPAN, I was wondering if<br>>
there is anyone in the Columbus.pm group who might be interested in
learning<br>> about it?<br>><br>><br>><br>>
