Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libdbd-anydata-perl Version : 0.08 Upstream Author : Jeff Zucker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JZ/JZUCKER/DBD-AnyData-0.08.tar.gz * License : Perl Artistic Description : Perl DBI driver for files and data structures
DBD::AnyData allows you to import almost any type of Perl data structure into an in-memory table and then use DBI and SQL to access and modify it. It also allows standard database access to almost any kind of file, supporting SQL manipulation of the file without converting the file out of its native format. . The module allows you to prototype a database without having an RDBMS system or other database engine and can operate either with or without creating or reading disk files. If you do use disk files, they may, in most cases, either be local files or any remote file accessible via HTTP or FTP. . The module also supports converting files between any of the supported formats. This package helps to solve RC bug 264670 of libdbd-ram-perl. Cheers Luk
