12/25/1997 Perl-Porters & Gentlefolk! May I direct your attention to a well tested implementation of b-trees. It is my humble hope that the package may be of assistance in re-designing perl's built-in collection types and fixing their tie interfaces. The reasons for another b-tree implementation are as follows: - Publically available code is the best tested. Buggy b-trees are completely unacceptable. This module includes test coverage analysis. - The algorithms have been completely separated from any notion of a database; the code is tweaked for easy embedding into other applications. Enjoy!
