What problems are you having? I'm surprised that it's throwing up on the Mac because I am developing DBM::Deep on a Mac.

What kind of functions are too slow? I'm currently rewriting the engine code from the ground up and would like to know where your speed requirements are.

And, dbm-deep is a great module for another major reason - it's Perl's datastructures tied to disk in a multi-process fashion. This allows you to think in Perl's datastructures without having to worry about how to store stuff until later (if ever).

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
