A DBD would be pointless since it's a HASH. What you're thinking of is a tie interface (like DB_File).

Without looking at the code, it should be fairly simple to create an interface due to the fact that it is just a hash.

update: I took at stab at compiling pure-db (win32), it took a little while but I got a native build going (non-cygwin) and I just started writing Tie::PureDB (it'll be my 2'nd official exstension).

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo! I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests. ** The Third rule of perl club is a statement of fact: pod is sexy.
