My gripe with Storable is that it is not possible to access into the storable object without thawing the whole thing. An idea has just occurred to me however, which is, it may be possible to create some kind of tie wrapper that would appear to be thawing a Storable object, but all data would continue to reside in the disk file instead of in memory, with new data getting tacked onto the end. 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? -- David L Nicol Aesop's fables, with text-sensitive advertising: http://cronos.advenge.com/pc/aesop/start.html
