As I understand it, the "standard" way to (de)marshall things anymore is to use Storable. see DirDB::Storable for an example of a multi-level tie that punts anything other than scalars and unblessed hashrefs to Storable for nstorage and retreival. If you're not going to have more than a thousand records (or you have reiserfs) DirDB might be the module for you rather than a single-file database. -- david nicol Where the hell did I put my coffee?
