Sounds like MLDBM to me.

    I don't see how to do the things I commented in my post with MLDBM.

    Is it possible to interface a (for example) fasta file (see the example in my post) with MLDBM? I read carefully the documentation and it doesn't seem obvious to me how to do the trick.

      No, of course it doesn't read someone else's data format. It does provide a tied interface to complex data storage using only what comes with perl though, which I thought was what you were asking about.

      If you're specifically wondering about FASTA files, search for FASTA on CPAN. There are a handful of modules for it.

        That's why I did my own module :-)

        Not specifically FASTA files. Any kind of data (provided that you give a way to index it)

        It's my fault, I think I didn't explain it properly
