Name DSLI Description Info ----------- ---- -------------------------------------------- ----- ObjStore Rm+O ObjectStore OODBMS Interface JPRIT Interface to ObjectStore OODBMS (http://www.odi.com). Stores scalars, sets, hashes, and references directly in the database without any flattening of nested or circular structures. Virtual memory mechanism used to make read/write access nearly as fast as memory mapped files. Includes CGI support module for `Perl Embedded HTML'. Databases can be accessed from Perl, C++, or Java.

HTML::PHTML gives you a simple and powerful "Perl Embedded HTML" page cache for CGI programs. Includes all the best features of HTML::Embperl and ePerl in about 340 lines of code. HTML::PHTML module does not require ObjStore. - No other changes. ** 08-16-97 Released 1.11 - Updates refcnts for transient references in update & abort_only transactions. Persistent memory leaks now impossible. - ospeek restricted to show only three instances per class. - Minor fixes (both important and less important). - No schema changes. ### FUTURE PLANS ### Preliminary design of Verity full text indexing interface below. Should the index membership be kept in each member or not? Leaning towards 'no'. $Txt->index($indexHandle, $userPointer) $indexHandle - the specific Verity index object $userPointer - returned together with the match score after a search This can be called multiple times for different indexes. $Txt->reindex; # call if string is changed $Txt->unindex($indexHandle);
