An idea has just occurred to me however, which is, it may be possible to create some kind of tie wrapper that would= =20 appear to be thawing a Storable object, but all data would continue to resi= de in the disk file instead of in memory, with new data getting tacked onto the e= nd. Locking of course would be among the fairly short list of tricky parts to implement this. So here's the question: does it already exist? Has anyone written = a wrapper around the Storable on-disk persistence format that gives a set of tied objects that continue to refer to the file? Sort of like those tools that open a compressed archive as a directory? --=20 David L Nicol Aesop's fables, with text-sensitive advertising: http://cronos.advenge.com/pc/aesop/start.html |
