in thread modularization, memory usage and performance

Thanks for the input, perrin. DB_File and GDBM_File sound very promising. I am always a bit hesitant about packages that come with C sources because I want don't want my users to have to compile something, but I hope to find a way to precompile those packages for Windows (because most people don't have a compiler on Windows).

As for creating libraries with no package: you are right, each "library" is just a collection of subs without any namespace (well, main::). I'll work on that.

-----------
Perl help me.

    There are some dbm modules that come with ActiveState Perl on Windows, so they don't need to be compiled or installed separately. Check which ones they are and use one of them.
