Re^3: Caching hash

The DB would be stored on the filesystem, so you can access it via its name between sessions or processes. It would be up to you to manage 'expiry' of the data, unless you use a wrapper like Cache::BerkeleyDB

Will it work for ActivePerl? I tried to install using ppm and it says "ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provide ..."	[reply]

I recommended DB_File because it is already included with Perl. I don't use ActivePerl much so can't really advise on how to fix your install issues. A guide to installing modules for Win32 might help. Or just install Strawberry Perl and install the modules via CPAN.	[reply]

For a DB of this 1-2GB size, I would be thinking along the lines of MySQL. Its free and its supposed to work pretty well and Perl has fantastic SQL I/F. I'm thinking about this for one my apps, but don't have experience with it yet.	[reply]
