MLDBM::Easy - Provides NON-piecemeal access to MLDBM files
use MLDBM::Easy; # as a drop-in for MLDBM
This module allows you to work with multi-dimensional databases, just like the MLDBM manpage, but it does work behind the scenes to allow you to treat the multi-dimensional database like a normal data structure. Basically, you don't need to use the piecemeal access that the MLDBM manpage required:
# old and busted my $record = $db{some_key}; $record->[2] += 100; $db{some_key} = $record;
# new hotness $db{some_key}[2] += 100;
Of course, with this convenience comes a loss of speed. Deal with it.
Check the MLDBM manpage for all other documentation.
