( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hello RichardK, friends,

Sorry for answering via a shotgun message. First, again thanks for your time and help. After I posted my first reply I began playing around with http://search.cpan.org/~cleishman/Cache-2.04/ and fell in love with it. It was simple and handled the metadata caching format nicely. Collection entries could be pushed/popped as hash key=>value pairs. It also handled file locking and provided many methods to do all of the things I needed to do. Unfortunately I found out later from my boss that not only are Dbases not allowed, but any Perl Module that is not a Perl5 core module cannot be used either. Mulligan!

Regarding the heap vs files debate; I learned that the required level of persistence is actually quite high, certainly high enough to warrant the use of a Dbase if that was an option. Essentially collections will be kept indefinitely. That is the reason I chose to use files. I also found out for certain that I could not modify file names. As of now I plan on creating a pseudo-namespace for each collection by throwing collection metadata and files unique directories.

Cheers,
Hok

P.S. I used a lot of buzzwords and somehow left out "Cloud" so there I said it.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
