Re: DBM::Deep Can't store something that is tied

Don't try to put anything into a DBM::Deep stucture that is tied, cos it won't work. The reason is that DBM::Deep uses tied structures itself, and you can only tie() to one class at a time in perl.

I'm just trying to modify an array list (tied to DBM::Deep itself) and delete one of the entries. I also tried doing the following thing: `$db->delete(1111); splice(splice(@{$bucketobj->{referrerindex}}, 1, 1); $db->{1111} = $bucketobj; # Modified object` [download] Even this doesn't work	[reply] [d/l]

While technically true, this can be worked around quite easily in most cases. But, since my brain hasn't wanted to work through all the possibilities, I have taken the safe route and disallowed it in all cases. The biggest problem is things that are tied to external resources, like DBI. One of these days I'll add a facade that allows for storing tied things. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]
