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

Nested tied structures will work in DBM::Deep pre-1.0. The author added transactional abilities, which required a heafty refactor and in the process this feature got "lost". When last I talked to the author (a couple months ago), he was too busy with $work to be able to address this. You might try giving him a poke and see where he is at with it.

Kinda. You couldn't store something that was tied to anything but DBM::Deep. As for why this feature got "lost", it had to do with the fact that the feature was broken as implemented pre-1.0. When proper references get added, this'll be there. 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]
