Subject: [Charlotte.PM] CouchDB Perl Integration
Message-ID: <48317A2F.8020909@napkindrawing.com>

Hi All,

Given the talk held recently on CouchDB I thought there'd be interest in 
a recently announced (1) CPAN module that brings Perl into CouchDB.

The module/distribution is CouchDB::View (2)

Remember that CouchDB is a document-oriented schema-less database, where 
transformations on the data are handled by "views". By default views are 
JavaScript functions that map/transform data into other data. The 
CouchDB::View modules allow those mappings to be done in Perl.

This now allows all of CPAN to be used by a CouchDB application / 
data-store!

Cheers,
Mike
