BerkeleyDB (0.27)

Being able to use all this power from within perl is just amazing!
The author is also very responsive and helpful.

The POD doc is quite sparse but this is really not a problem since this module almost strictly follow the C API, which is heavily documented on the sleepycat website (maybe a link in the POD would be helpful).
Examples from the C reference manual can be adapted to perl in a minute (except with far less lines of code!)

This is a solid, well-written interface to a solid, well-written database. My application exercises the module fairly extensively including using multiple, simultaneous database environments, memory pools, secondary indexes, transactions, transaction checkpointing, log management, table removal and the Berkeley DB's hot recovery method. And it all just works. Plus Paul Marquess and Keith Bostic of SleepyCat monitor the BerkeleyDB news group answering quickly and authoritatively questions about the db and its interface. Awesome.

Thanks for such excellent work,
Mike

This is more advanced version of DB_File and the best module to use with BerkeleyDB library [for 'db-maniacs'] ;-) Please complete all documentation. Best regards.
