You'll laugh: I need a tempfile for DBM::Deep which is used by default in my module. :-) Thanks for your answer.

    Oooh. What does your module do? What do you use DBM::Deep for? Inquiring minds want to know!

    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?
      I'm working on small library that provides persistence for Perl objects. Persistence is implemented by abstract CRUD methods that need to be overridden in subclass. I use DBM::Deep as default data store in module and tests, however I use PostgreSQL and Amazon S3 for production.
        Hmm ... take a look at Presto. I gave a talk about it at YAPC::NA::2006, but it's kinda languished as I've done other projects. It does have some really good ideas that I'd like to see have a home.
