To the PAUSE Maintainers,
My name is David Youd, and I would like to register as a CPAN author.
For nearly two years, the organization at which I work has served up data
from GemStone (an object database for smalltalk developers) using a
database interface module I wrote called GemStone.pm. The module has been
used daily for production processes.
GemStone.pm allows perl developers to send commands to the GemStone
database as if they were interacting with Topaz (the GemStone command line
interface). This is a great way to build web applications when your data
is locked away in GemStone.
The module can be found at: http://www.youdzone.com/perl/GemStone.pm

RdpO Interface to a GemStone object database
My preferred user-ID would be "YOUD"
While I no longer officially develop SmallTalk code, I'm submitting this to
CPAN due to the stream of requests I receive for it. For years, people
have asked on Usenet and mailing lists (mostly smalltalk oriented) for such
a program.
Here's a recent request:

Is there a Perl DBI module for Gemstone? I thought that I had read
somewhere that a Perl module existed to access the Gemstone/S database.
Does anybody know if such a module exists and if there is where can I find
it? Is anybody currently using it with any success?

Thank you for your time,
