This question has N subquestions. I suppose the easiest one is: if a perl module has to come with data to be useful, how much data should be part of the module? If the module can come with MB of data, should it?

In developing this, I've been using DBM::Deep. I know DBM::Deep::Blue exists. DBM::Deep nominally requires DB_file. DBM::Deep::Blue does everything internally. In terms of developing the data, I think a persistent perl structure is required. How does/should one decide between the two above? I know MLDBM isn't what I would prefer to do.

Most of what I am going is HoH, some is LoH. Are there any lessons on how to turn Lo* or Ho* into SQL?

Thanks
