module for putting array memory usage on disk instead of RAM? (kywd: Tie)

princepawn has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I want to perform array operations (ie, push, pop, shift, unshift, etc) but have the results reflected in a file instead of memory.

Tie::MmapArray looked promising, but I could not get it to compile on my Sparc Solaris platform.

I believe one of the BerkeleyDB modes is a tied array. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

Yes, it looks like BerkeleyDB::Recno is the ticket.	[reply]
