in reply to hashref population yields out of memory error

If you want to tie a hash to disk, DBM::Deep is a common way to go because it can handle nested structures. If you don't need that, you can use dbm modules that come with Perl.

      What's happened is that DBM::Deep has grown beyond my ability to maintain it by myself. Specifically, most of the 9 open bugs are win32/cygwin specific. I have almost zero experience developing on those platforms and am struggling. I would be absolutely delighted to take patches and would love to open up the SVN tree to other developers. Want to help? Please??
      My criteria for good software:
      1. Does it work?
      2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
