in reply to Caching Format

Perl comes with a number of DB-like access methods; see the listing in AnyDBM_File. And you just might have YAML installed - a number of other modules call for it - which would make life just peachy (stores the data in a cleverly-arranged text file, essentially.) Write a simple script that prompts you for the above data and rolls it into YAML as a hash, then retrieve it whenever needed.

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use YAML 'DumpFile'; $|++; # Cheating in a bit of data here... my %images; @images{1..5} = map "image$_.jpg", 1..5; # Voila! DumpFile("yaml.db", \%images);
