The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: IO::VirtualDisk DSLIP: bdpOp description: Virtual Disk inside files (Similar to UNIX). userid: GMPASSOS (Gaciliano Monteiro Passos) chapterid: 21 (File_Handle_Input_Output) communities: perlmonks.com, maybe SF.
similar: None that I know. rationale: Implement a full portable Virtual Disk inside a unique file. The access to the files can be directly from comands to the disk object, or from a IO handle, like IO::File. The architecture of the FS permit the "disk" to have any size, and changes (read/write/creation) to a file doesn't affect other files inside the disk. Since we can access the files of the disk from a PerlIO, like IO::File, I think that it needs to be inside IO::. And since it has some sub-modules, like the FAT module that control the clusters of the FS, I need a namespace. enteredby: GMPASSOS (Gaciliano Monteiro Passos) enteredon: Thu Mar 13 04:17:08 2003 GMT The resulting entry would be: IO:: ::VirtualDisk bdpOp Virtual Disk inside files (Similar to UNIX).
