Yeah, awful language this Perl. Makes things much too easy.

I hope our bosses never find out that things take a fraction of the time
they would with other languages :-)

Cheers,

Thats weird, I just wrote something that did that very thing the other day
.. the transactional bit was just a side affect of having a tied hash that
could tell which keys which had been updated so I could cheat big time
with the internal data hash which keeps all the stuff for the billing
system here ...

Tie::Hash::Transactional

2001-06-13 Thread David Cantrell

Go me!  Tie::Hash::Transactional is written.  It implements a hash which
you can checkpoint and rollback.

I'll put it on my website as soon as my victim^Wlovely volunteer tester
has had a chance to play with it.

It was disgustingly easy to write - took about an hour, most of which was
writing the docs and the tests.
