DESCRIPTION

This module supports MLDBM data stores through either the MLDBM or the MLDBM::Sync modules.

Actually, it can work with any data source that has a tied hash interface (implements the FETCH, STORE, EXISTS, DELETE, FIRSTKEY, NEXTKEY methods).

DATA STORE

The data store object is mldbm and is a required parameter for object creation. Usually, this is set in the factory object which then passes it to this class when a new object is being created or fetched from the data store.
