AsciiDB::Tag - Tie class for a simple ASCII database =========================================================================== Jose A. Rodriguez Garrido josear+cpan@ac.upc.es 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: [Name]: Jose A. Rodriguez [Address]: Granollers, Barcelona, SPAIN The tie class provides a convenient way to read and update this kind of ASCII databases.
