I am looking for these features:

1) Persistent storage in user editable form which means text files indexed by filenames.

2) Shared storage between threads. That means file locking. It could copy the idea of lock() function.

3) Data amount is small enough for this kind of light database model. No internal caching needed or even allowed.

4) Data will be accessed by a tied variable like ${$key}{$subkey} which should point to file \somedatadir\key which contains subkeys like "subkey=>data" or something similar in a single file.

DBM:Deep looks interesting but I think it does not qualify my requirement n:o 1.
