Re: Writing Arrays to disk

Check out the Storable module. You can do something like:

  use Storable;

  # store the links array in links.db
  store(\@links, "links.db");

  # load the links array from links.db
  @links = @{ retieve("links.db") };
[download]

yeah thanks i've tried the Storable thing, it sounds like just what I need but I just get the message: Storable object version 1.012 does not match $Storable::VERSION 1.014 at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 225. Compilation failed in require at storable line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at storable.pl line 1. I'm using Activestate Perl and their ppm thing isn't working at the moment so I can't even try reinstalling the module:-( ah well maybe i'll just keep on opening and closing the filehandles in a textfile instead, thanks Tom	[reply]
