p5-AsciiDB-TagFile

Perl tie class for a simple ASCII database

Usually when you have to store persistent data you don't need a full-blown database server, just a ASCII database would do the trick. AsciiDB::Tag allows you to access a simple ASCII database using a perl hash variable. The database format is straightforward so you can edit it by hand if you need so. Each record is stored into a file, and a record is just a set of values tagged by the field name.
