IMO the author is being highly optimistic in his description. This problem is well known and wont go away any time soon. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]

Seems like a patch to make a pragma that makes autovivification a fatal error would be rather easy to write and would be useful here and for other uses. - tye	[reply]

In that case I have learned a milestone lesson in my perl career. Don't trust people who know more than me ;-)	[reply]

I think the point here is that without knowing Mr. Huckaby personally its difficult to asses his knowledge level. By the look of the module it would appear he is a competent fellow, but that section on Tie's suggests he might not be so well informed about some of perls esoterica. At the very least it would appear that he is discounting comments in MLDBM, something that is IMO unwise as the author, Gurusamy Sarathy, is a former pumpking (responsible for 5.6) which makes his opinion carry considerable weight. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]

I tried using DBM::Deep for a full text search engine. The autovivification problem popped up quite a bit, so I gave up. Still use DBM::Deep for other applications, though. It's pretty nice.	[reply]
