[Omaha.pm] Persistent data store for a prototype

[Dave Burchell]

Great suggestions, thanks Jay.  However, I'm looking for something with
local storage so I can code/test/demo the app while I'm away from the net
(e.g., on a plane or at my mom's house).  Maybe something like gdbm is a
good option?  But there are a bunch of Berkley DB-derived libraries; how do
I choose?

(I was hoping someone knew of a slick module that would let me abstract away
the storage mechanism and switch from local to net-based storage
arbitrarily.)
