-# DBM::Deep
-#
-# Description:
-# Multi-level database module for storing hash trees, arrays and simple
-# key/value pairs into FTP-able, cross-platform binary database files.
-#
-# Type `perldoc DBM::Deep` for complete documentation.
-#
-# Usage Examples:
-# my %db;
-# tie %db, 'DBM::Deep', 'my_database.db'; # standard tie() method
-#
-# my $db = new DBM::Deep( 'my_database.db' ); # preferred OO method
-#
-# $db->{my_scalar} = 'hello world';
-# $db->{my_hash} = { larry => 'genius', hashes => 'fast' };
-# $db->{my_array} = [ 1, 2, 3, time() ];
-# $db->{my_complex} = [ 'hello', { perl => 'rules' }, 42, 99 ];
-# push @{$db->{my_array}}, 'another value';
-# my @key_list = keys %{$db->{my_hash}};
-# print "This module " . $db->{my_complex}->[1]->{perl} . "!\n";

-=head1 NAME
-
-DBM::Deep - A pure perl multi-level hash/array DBM
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use DBM::Deep;
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new( "foo.db" );
-
- $db->{key} = 'value';
- print $db->{key};
-
- $db->put('key' => 'value');
- print $db->get('key');
-
- # true multi-level support
- $db->{my_complex} = [
- 'hello', { perl => 'rules' },
- 42, 99,
- ];
-
- tie my %db, 'DBM::Deep', 'foo.db';
- $db{key} = 'value';
- print $db{key};
-
- tied(%db)->put('key' => 'value');
- print tied(%db)->get('key');
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-A unique flat-file database module, written in pure perl. True multi-level
-hash/array support (unlike MLDBM, which is faked), hybrid OO / tie()
-interface, cross-platform FTPable files, ACID transactions, and is quite fast.
-Can handle millions of keys and unlimited levels without significant
-slow-down. Written from the ground-up in pure perl -- this is NOT a wrapper
-around a C-based DBM. Out-of-the-box compatibility with Unix, Mac OS X and
-Windows.
-
-=head1 VERSION DIFFERENCES
-
-B<NOTE>: 0.99_01 and above have significant file format differences from 0.983 and
-before. There will be a backwards-compatibility layer in 1.00, but that is
-slated for a later 0.99_x release. This version is B<NOT> backwards compatible
-with 0.983 and before.
-
-=head1 SETUP
-
-Construction can be done OO-style (which is the recommended way), or using
-Perl's tie() function. Both are examined here.
-
-=head2 OO CONSTRUCTION
-
-The recommended way to construct a DBM::Deep object is to use the new()
-method, which gets you a blessed I<and> tied hash (or array) reference.
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new( "foo.db" );
-
-This opens a new database handle, mapped to the file "foo.db". If this
-file does not exist, it will automatically be created. DB files are
-opened in "r+" (read/write) mode, and the type of object returned is a
-hash, unless otherwise specified (see L<OPTIONS> below).
-
-You can pass a number of options to the constructor to specify things like
-locking, autoflush, etc. This is done by passing an inline hash (or hashref):
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new(
- file => "foo.db",
- locking => 1,
- autoflush => 1
- );
-
-Notice that the filename is now specified I<inside> the hash with
-the "file" parameter, as opposed to being the sole argument to the
-constructor. This is required if any options are specified.
-See L<OPTIONS> below for the complete list.
-
-You can also start with an array instead of a hash. For this, you must
-specify the C<type> parameter:
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new(
- file => "foo.db",
- type => DBM::Deep->TYPE_ARRAY
- );
-
-B<Note:> Specifing the C<type> parameter only takes effect when beginning
-a new DB file. If you create a DBM::Deep object with an existing file, the
-C<type> will be loaded from the file header, and an error will be thrown if
-the wrong type is passed in.
-
-=head2 TIE CONSTRUCTION
-
-Alternately, you can create a DBM::Deep handle by using Perl's built-in
-tie() function. The object returned from tie() can be used to call methods,
-such as lock() and unlock(). (That object can be retrieved from the tied
-variable at any time using tied() - please see L<perltie/> for more info.
-
- my %hash;
- my $db = tie %hash, "DBM::Deep", "foo.db";
-
- my @array;
- my $db = tie @array, "DBM::Deep", "bar.db";
-
-As with the OO constructor, you can replace the DB filename parameter with
-a hash containing one or more options (see L<OPTIONS> just below for the
-complete list).
-
- tie %hash, "DBM::Deep", {
- file => "foo.db",
- locking => 1,
- autoflush => 1
- };
-
-=head2 OPTIONS
-
-There are a number of options that can be passed in when constructing your
-DBM::Deep objects. These apply to both the OO- and tie- based approaches.
-
-=over
-
-=item * file
-
-Filename of the DB file to link the handle to. You can pass a full absolute
-filesystem path, partial path, or a plain filename if the file is in the
-current working directory. This is a required parameter (though q.v. fh).
-
-=item * fh
-
-If you want, you can pass in the fh instead of the file. This is most useful for doing
-something like:
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new( { fh => \*DATA } );
-
-You are responsible for making sure that the fh has been opened appropriately for your
-needs. If you open it read-only and attempt to write, an exception will be thrown. If you
-open it write-only or append-only, an exception will be thrown immediately as DBM::Deep
-needs to read from the fh.
-
-=item * audit_file / audit_fh
-
-These are just like file/fh, except for auditing. Please see L</AUDITING> for
-more information.
-
-=item * file_offset
-
-This is the offset within the file that the DBM::Deep db starts. Most of the time, you will
-not need to set this. However, it's there if you want it.
-
-If you pass in fh and do not set this, it will be set appropriately.
-
-=item * type
-
-This parameter specifies what type of object to create, a hash or array. Use
-one of these two constants:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item * C<DBM::Deep-E<gt>TYPE_HASH>
-
-=item * C<DBM::Deep-E<gt>TYPE_ARRAY>.
-
-=back
-
-This only takes effect when beginning a new file. This is an optional
-parameter, and defaults to C<DBM::Deep-E<gt>TYPE_HASH>.
-
-=item * locking
-
-Specifies whether locking is to be enabled. DBM::Deep uses Perl's flock()
-function to lock the database in exclusive mode for writes, and shared mode
-for reads. Pass any true value to enable. This affects the base DB handle
-I<and any child hashes or arrays> that use the same DB file. This is an
-optional parameter, and defaults to 0 (disabled). See L<LOCKING> below for
-more.
-
-=item * autoflush
-
-Specifies whether autoflush is to be enabled on the underlying filehandle.
-This obviously slows down write operations, but is required if you may have
-multiple processes accessing the same DB file (also consider enable I<locking>).
-Pass any true value to enable. This is an optional parameter, and defaults to 0
-(disabled).
-
-=item * autobless
-
-If I<autobless> mode is enabled, DBM::Deep will preserve the class something
-is blessed into, and restores it when fetched. This is an optional parameter, and defaults to 1 (enabled).
-
-B<Note:> If you use the OO-interface, you will not be able to call any methods
-of DBM::Deep on the blessed item. This is considered to be a feature.
-
-=item * filter_*
-
-See L</FILTERS> below.
-
-=back
-
-=head1 TIE INTERFACE
-
-With DBM::Deep you can access your databases using Perl's standard hash/array
-syntax. Because all DBM::Deep objects are I<tied> to hashes or arrays, you can
-treat them as such. DBM::Deep will intercept all reads/writes and direct them
-to the right place -- the DB file. This has nothing to do with the
-L<TIE CONSTRUCTION> section above. This simply tells you how to use DBM::Deep
-using regular hashes and arrays, rather than calling functions like C<get()>
-and C<put()> (although those work too). It is entirely up to you how to want
-to access your databases.
-
-=head2 HASHES
-
-You can treat any DBM::Deep object like a normal Perl hash reference. Add keys,
-or even nested hashes (or arrays) using standard Perl syntax:
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new( "foo.db" );
-
- $db->{mykey} = "myvalue";
- $db->{myhash} = {};
- $db->{myhash}->{subkey} = "subvalue";
-
- print $db->{myhash}->{subkey} . "\n";
-
-You can even step through hash keys using the normal Perl C<keys()> function:
-
- foreach my $key (keys %$db) {
- print "$key: " . $db->{$key} . "\n";
- }
-
-Remember that Perl's C<keys()> function extracts I<every> key from the hash and
-pushes them onto an array, all before the loop even begins. If you have an
-extremely large hash, this may exhaust Perl's memory. Instead, consider using
-Perl's C<each()> function, which pulls keys/values one at a time, using very
-little memory:
-
- while (my ($key, $value) = each %$db) {
- print "$key: $value\n";
- }
-
-Please note that when using C<each()>, you should always pass a direct
-hash reference, not a lookup. Meaning, you should B<never> do this:
-
- # NEVER DO THIS
- while (my ($key, $value) = each %{$db->{foo}}) { # BAD
-
-This causes an infinite loop, because for each iteration, Perl is calling
-FETCH() on the $db handle, resulting in a "new" hash for foo every time, so
-it effectively keeps returning the first key over and over again. Instead,
-assign a temporary variable to C<$db->{foo}>, then pass that to each().
-
-=head2 ARRAYS
-
-As with hashes, you can treat any DBM::Deep object like a normal Perl array
-reference. This includes inserting, removing and manipulating elements,
-and the C<push()>, C<pop()>, C<shift()>, C<unshift()> and C<splice()> functions.
-The object must have first been created using type C<DBM::Deep-E<gt>TYPE_ARRAY>,
-or simply be a nested array reference inside a hash. Example:
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new(
- file => "foo-array.db",
- type => DBM::Deep->TYPE_ARRAY
- );
-
- $db->[0] = "foo";
- push @$db, "bar", "baz";
- unshift @$db, "bah";
-
- my $last_elem = pop @$db; # baz
- my $first_elem = shift @$db; # bah
- my $second_elem = $db->[1]; # bar
-
- my $num_elements = scalar @$db;
-
-=head1 OO INTERFACE
-
-In addition to the I<tie()> interface, you can also use a standard OO interface
-to manipulate all aspects of DBM::Deep databases. Each type of object (hash or
-array) has its own methods, but both types share the following common methods:
-C<put()>, C<get()>, C<exists()>, C<delete()> and C<clear()>. C<fetch()> and
-C<store(> are aliases to C<put()> and C<get()>, respectively.
-
-=over
-
-=item * new() / clone()
-
-These are the constructor and copy-functions.
-
-=item * put() / store()
-
-Stores a new hash key/value pair, or sets an array element value. Takes two
-arguments, the hash key or array index, and the new value. The value can be
-a scalar, hash ref or array ref. Returns true on success, false on failure.
-
- $db->put("foo", "bar"); # for hashes
- $db->put(1, "bar"); # for arrays
-
-=item * get() / fetch()
-
-Fetches the value of a hash key or array element. Takes one argument: the hash
-key or array index. Returns a scalar, hash ref or array ref, depending on the
-data type stored.
-
- my $value = $db->get("foo"); # for hashes
- my $value = $db->get(1); # for arrays
-
-=item * exists()
-
-Checks if a hash key or array index exists. Takes one argument: the hash key
-or array index. Returns true if it exists, false if not.
-
- if ($db->exists("foo")) { print "yay!\n"; } # for hashes
- if ($db->exists(1)) { print "yay!\n"; } # for arrays
-
-=item * delete()
-
-Deletes one hash key/value pair or array element. Takes one argument: the hash
-key or array index. Returns true on success, false if not found. For arrays,
-the remaining elements located after the deleted element are NOT moved over.
-The deleted element is essentially just undefined, which is exactly how Perl's
-internal arrays work. Please note that the space occupied by the deleted
-key/value or element is B<not> reused again -- see L<UNUSED SPACE RECOVERY>
-below for details and workarounds.
-
- $db->delete("foo"); # for hashes
- $db->delete(1); # for arrays
-
-=item * clear()
-
-Deletes B<all> hash keys or array elements. Takes no arguments. No return
-value. Please note that the space occupied by the deleted keys/values or
-elements is B<not> reused again -- see L<UNUSED SPACE RECOVERY> below for
-details and workarounds.
-
- $db->clear(); # hashes or arrays
-
-=item * lock() / unlock()
-
-q.v. Locking.
-
-=item * optimize()
-
-Recover lost disk space. This is important to do, especially if you use
-transactions.
-
-=item * import() / export()
-
-Data going in and out.
-
-=back
-
-=head2 HASHES
-
-For hashes, DBM::Deep supports all the common methods described above, and the
-following additional methods: C<first_key()> and C<next_key()>.
-
-=over
-
-=item * first_key()
-
-Returns the "first" key in the hash. As with built-in Perl hashes, keys are
-fetched in an undefined order (which appears random). Takes no arguments,
-returns the key as a scalar value.
-
- my $key = $db->first_key();
-
-=item * next_key()
-
-Returns the "next" key in the hash, given the previous one as the sole argument.
-Returns undef if there are no more keys to be fetched.
-
- $key = $db->next_key($key);
-
-=back
-
-Here are some examples of using hashes:
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new( "foo.db" );
-
- $db->put("foo", "bar");
- print "foo: " . $db->get("foo") . "\n";
-
- $db->put("baz", {}); # new child hash ref
- $db->get("baz")->put("buz", "biz");
- print "buz: " . $db->get("baz")->get("buz") . "\n";
-
- my $key = $db->first_key();
- while ($key) {
- print "$key: " . $db->get($key) . "\n";
- $key = $db->next_key($key);
- }
-
- if ($db->exists("foo")) { $db->delete("foo"); }
-
-=head2 ARRAYS
-
-For arrays, DBM::Deep supports all the common methods described above, and the
-following additional methods: C<length()>, C<push()>, C<pop()>, C<shift()>,
-C<unshift()> and C<splice()>.
-
-=over
-
-=item * length()
-
-Returns the number of elements in the array. Takes no arguments.
-
- my $len = $db->length();
-
-=item * push()
-
-Adds one or more elements onto the end of the array. Accepts scalars, hash
-refs or array refs. No return value.
-
- $db->push("foo", "bar", {});
-
-=item * pop()
-
-Fetches the last element in the array, and deletes it. Takes no arguments.
-Returns undef if array is empty. Returns the element value.
-
- my $elem = $db->pop();
-
-=item * shift()
-
-Fetches the first element in the array, deletes it, then shifts all the
-remaining elements over to take up the space. Returns the element value. This
-method is not recommended with large arrays -- see L<LARGE ARRAYS> below for
-details.
-
- my $elem = $db->shift();
-
-=item * unshift()
-
-Inserts one or more elements onto the beginning of the array, shifting all
-existing elements over to make room. Accepts scalars, hash refs or array refs.
-No return value. This method is not recommended with large arrays -- see
-<LARGE ARRAYS> below for details.
-
- $db->unshift("foo", "bar", {});
-
-=item * splice()
-
-Performs exactly like Perl's built-in function of the same name. See L<perldoc
--f splice> for usage -- it is too complicated to document here. This method is
-not recommended with large arrays -- see L<LARGE ARRAYS> below for details.
-
-=back
-
-Here are some examples of using arrays:
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new(
- file => "foo.db",
- type => DBM::Deep->TYPE_ARRAY
- );
-
- $db->push("bar", "baz");
- $db->unshift("foo");
- $db->put(3, "buz");
-
- my $len = $db->length();
- print "length: $len\n"; # 4
-
- for (my $k=0; $k<$len; $k++) {
- print "$k: " . $db->get($k) . "\n";
- }
-
- $db->splice(1, 2, "biz", "baf");
-
- while (my $elem = shift @$db) {
- print "shifted: $elem\n";
- }
-
-=head1 LOCKING
-
-Enable automatic file locking by passing a true value to the C<locking>
-parameter when constructing your DBM::Deep object (see L<SETUP> above).
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new(
- file => "foo.db",
- locking => 1
- );
-
-This causes DBM::Deep to C<flock()> the underlying filehandle with exclusive
-mode for writes, and shared mode for reads. This is required if you have
-multiple processes accessing the same database file, to avoid file corruption.
-Please note that C<flock()> does NOT work for files over NFS. See L<DB OVER
-NFS> below for more.
-
-=head2 EXPLICIT LOCKING
-
-You can explicitly lock a database, so it remains locked for multiple
-transactions. This is done by calling the C<lock()> method, and passing an
-optional lock mode argument (defaults to exclusive mode). This is particularly
-useful for things like counters, where the current value needs to be fetched,
-then incremented, then stored again.
-
- $db->lock();
- my $counter = $db->get("counter");
- $counter++;
- $db->put("counter", $counter);
- $db->unlock();
-
- # or...
-
- $db->lock();
- $db->{counter}++;
- $db->unlock();
-
-You can pass C<lock()> an optional argument, which specifies which mode to use
-(exclusive or shared). Use one of these two constants:
-C<DBM::Deep-E<gt>LOCK_EX> or C<DBM::Deep-E<gt>LOCK_SH>. These are passed
-directly to C<flock()>, and are the same as the constants defined in Perl's
-L<Fcntl/> module.
-
- $db->lock( $db->LOCK_SH );
- # something here
- $db->unlock();
-
-=head1 IMPORTING/EXPORTING
-
-You can import existing complex structures by calling the C<import()> method,
-and export an entire database into an in-memory structure using the C<export()>
-method. Both are examined here.
-
-=head2 IMPORTING
-
-Say you have an existing hash with nested hashes/arrays inside it. Instead of
-walking the structure and adding keys/elements to the database as you go,
-simply pass a reference to the C<import()> method. This recursively adds
-everything to an existing DBM::Deep object for you. Here is an example:
-
- my $struct = {
- key1 => "value1",
- key2 => "value2",
- array1 => [ "elem0", "elem1", "elem2" ],
- hash1 => {
- subkey1 => "subvalue1",
- subkey2 => "subvalue2"
- }
- };
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new( "foo.db" );
- $db->import( $struct );
-
- print $db->{key1} . "\n"; # prints "value1"
-
-This recursively imports the entire C<$struct> object into C<$db>, including
-all nested hashes and arrays. If the DBM::Deep object contains exsiting data,
-keys are merged with the existing ones, replacing if they already exist.
-The C<import()> method can be called on any database level (not just the base
-level), and works with both hash and array DB types.
-
-B<Note:> Make sure your existing structure has no circular references in it.
-These will cause an infinite loop when importing. There are plans to fix this
-in a later release.
-
-=head2 EXPORTING
-
-Calling the C<export()> method on an existing DBM::Deep object will return
-a reference to a new in-memory copy of the database. The export is done
-recursively, so all nested hashes/arrays are all exported to standard Perl
-objects. Here is an example:
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new( "foo.db" );
-
- $db->{key1} = "value1";
- $db->{key2} = "value2";
- $db->{hash1} = {};
- $db->{hash1}->{subkey1} = "subvalue1";
- $db->{hash1}->{subkey2} = "subvalue2";
-
- my $struct = $db->export();
-
- print $struct->{key1} . "\n"; # prints "value1"
-
-This makes a complete copy of the database in memory, and returns a reference
-to it. The C<export()> method can be called on any database level (not just
-the base level), and works with both hash and array DB types. Be careful of
-large databases -- you can store a lot more data in a DBM::Deep object than an
-in-memory Perl structure.
-
-B<Note:> Make sure your database has no circular references in it.
-These will cause an infinite loop when exporting. There are plans to fix this
-in a later release.
-
-=head1 FILTERS
-
-DBM::Deep has a number of hooks where you can specify your own Perl function
-to perform filtering on incoming or outgoing data. This is a perfect
-way to extend the engine, and implement things like real-time compression or
-encryption. Filtering applies to the base DB level, and all child hashes /
-arrays. Filter hooks can be specified when your DBM::Deep object is first
-constructed, or by calling the C<set_filter()> method at any time. There are
-four available filter hooks, described below:
-
-=over
-
-=item * filter_store_key
-
-This filter is called whenever a hash key is stored. It
-is passed the incoming key, and expected to return a transformed key.
-
-=item * filter_store_value
-
-This filter is called whenever a hash key or array element is stored. It
-is passed the incoming value, and expected to return a transformed value.
-
-=item * filter_fetch_key
-
-This filter is called whenever a hash key is fetched (i.e. via
-C<first_key()> or C<next_key()>). It is passed the transformed key,
-and expected to return the plain key.
-
-=item * filter_fetch_value
-
-This filter is called whenever a hash key or array element is fetched.
-It is passed the transformed value, and expected to return the plain value.
-
-=back
-
-Here are the two ways to setup a filter hook:
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new(
- file => "foo.db",
- filter_store_value => \&my_filter_store,
- filter_fetch_value => \&my_filter_fetch
- );
-
- # or...
-
- $db->set_filter( "filter_store_value", \&my_filter_store );
- $db->set_filter( "filter_fetch_value", \&my_filter_fetch );
-
-Your filter function will be called only when dealing with SCALAR keys or
-values. When nested hashes and arrays are being stored/fetched, filtering
-is bypassed. Filters are called as static functions, passed a single SCALAR
-argument, and expected to return a single SCALAR value. If you want to
-remove a filter, set the function reference to C<undef>:
-
- $db->set_filter( "filter_store_value", undef );
-
-=head2 REAL-TIME ENCRYPTION EXAMPLE
-
-Here is a working example that uses the I<Crypt::Blowfish> module to
-do real-time encryption / decryption of keys & values with DBM::Deep Filters.
-Please visit L<http://search.cpan.org/search?module=Crypt::Blowfish> for more
-on I<Crypt::Blowfish>. You'll also need the I<Crypt::CBC> module.

-=head2 REAL-TIME COMPRESSION EXAMPLE
-
-Here is a working example that uses the I<Compress::Zlib> module to do real-time
-compression / decompression of keys & values with DBM::Deep Filters.
-Please visit L<http://search.cpan.org/search?module=Compress::Zlib> for
-more on I<Compress::Zlib>.
-
- use DBM::Deep;
- use Compress::Zlib;
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new(
- file => "foo-compress.db",
- filter_store_key => \&my_compress,
- filter_store_value => \&my_compress,
- filter_fetch_key => \&my_decompress,
- filter_fetch_value => \&my_decompress,
- );
-
- $db->{key1} = "value1";
- $db->{key2} = "value2";
- print "key1: " . $db->{key1} . "\n";
- print "key2: " . $db->{key2} . "\n";
-
- undef $db;
- exit;
-
- sub my_compress {
- return Compress::Zlib::memGzip( $_[0] ) ;
- }
- sub my_decompress {
- return Compress::Zlib::memGunzip( $_[0] ) ;
- }
-
-B<Note:> Filtering of keys only applies to hashes. Array "keys" are
-actually numerical index numbers, and are not filtered.
-
-=head1 ERROR HANDLING
-
-Most DBM::Deep methods return a true value for success, and call die() on
-failure. You can wrap calls in an eval block to catch the die.
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new( "foo.db" ); # create hash
- eval { $db->push("foo"); }; # ILLEGAL -- push is array-only call
-
- print $@; # prints error message
-
-=head1 LARGEFILE SUPPORT
-
-If you have a 64-bit system, and your Perl is compiled with both LARGEFILE
-and 64-bit support, you I<may> be able to create databases larger than 2 GB.
-DBM::Deep by default uses 32-bit file offset tags, but these can be changed
-by specifying the 'pack_size' parameter when constructing the file.
-
- DBM::Deep->new(
- filename => $filename,
- pack_size => 'large',
- );
-
-This tells DBM::Deep to pack all file offsets with 8-byte (64-bit) quad words
-instead of 32-bit longs. After setting these values your DB files have a
-theoretical maximum size of 16 XB (exabytes).
-
-You can also use C<pack_size =E<gt> 'small'> in order to use 16-bit file
-offsets.
-
-B<Note:> Changing these values will B<NOT> work for existing database files.
-Only change this for new files. Once the value has been set, it is stored in
-the file's header and cannot be changed for the life of the file. These
-parameters are per-file, meaning you can access 32-bit and 64-bit files, as
-you chose.
-
-B<Note:> We have not personally tested files larger than 2 GB -- all my
-systems have only a 32-bit Perl. However, I have received user reports that
-this does indeed work!
-
-=head1 LOW-LEVEL ACCESS
-
-If you require low-level access to the underlying filehandle that DBM::Deep uses,
-you can call the C<_fh()> method, which returns the handle:
-
- my $fh = $db->_fh();
-
-This method can be called on the root level of the datbase, or any child
-hashes or arrays. All levels share a I<root> structure, which contains things
-like the filehandle, a reference counter, and all the options specified
-when you created the object. You can get access to this file object by
-calling the C<_storage()> method.
-
- my $file_obj = $db->_storage();
-
-This is useful for changing options after the object has already been created,
-such as enabling/disabling locking. You can also store your own temporary user
-data in this structure (be wary of name collision), which is then accessible from
-any child hash or array.
-
-=head1 CUSTOM DIGEST ALGORITHM
-
-DBM::Deep by default uses the I<Message Digest 5> (MD5) algorithm for hashing
-keys. However you can override this, and use another algorithm (such as SHA-256)
-or even write your own. But please note that DBM::Deep currently expects zero
-collisions, so your algorithm has to be I<perfect>, so to speak. Collision
-detection may be introduced in a later version.
-
-You can specify a custom digest algorithm by passing it into the parameter
-list for new(), passing a reference to a subroutine as the 'digest' parameter,
-and the length of the algorithm's hashes (in bytes) as the 'hash_size'
-parameter. Here is a working example that uses a 256-bit hash from the
-I<Digest::SHA256> module. Please see
-L<http://search.cpan.org/search?module=Digest::SHA256> for more information.
-
- use DBM::Deep;
- use Digest::SHA256;
-
- my $context = Digest::SHA256::new(256);
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new(
- filename => "foo-sha.db",
- digest => \&my_digest,
- hash_size => 32,
- );
-
- $db->{key1} = "value1";
- $db->{key2} = "value2";
- print "key1: " . $db->{key1} . "\n";
- print "key2: " . $db->{key2} . "\n";
-
- undef $db;
- exit;
-
- sub my_digest {
- return substr( $context->hash($_[0]), 0, 32 );
- }
-
-B<Note:> Your returned digest strings must be B<EXACTLY> the number
-of bytes you specify in the hash_size parameter (in this case 32).
-
-B<Note:> If you do choose to use a custom digest algorithm, you must set it
-every time you access this file. Otherwise, the default (MD5) will be used.
-
-=head1 CIRCULAR REFERENCES
-
-DBM::Deep has B<experimental> support for circular references. Meaning you
-can have a nested hash key or array element that points to a parent object.
-This relationship is stored in the DB file, and is preserved between sessions.
-Here is an example:
-
- my $db = DBM::Deep->new( "foo.db" );
-
- $db->{foo} = "bar";
- $db->{circle} = $db; # ref to self
-
- print $db->{foo} . "\n"; # prints "bar"
- print $db->{circle}->{foo} . "\n"; # prints "bar" again
-
-B<Note>: Passing the object to a function that recursively walks the
-object tree (such as I<Data::Dumper> or even the built-in C<optimize()> or
-C<export()> methods) will result in an infinite loop. This will be fixed in
-a future release.
-
-=head1 AUDITING
-
-New in 0.99_01 is the ability to audit your databases actions. By passing in
-audit_file (or audit_fh) to the constructor, all actions will be logged to
-that file. The format is one that is suitable for eval'ing against the
-database to replay the actions. Please see t/33_audit_trail.t for an example
-of how to do this.
-
-=head1 TRANSACTIONS
-
-New in 0.99_01 is ACID transactions. Every DBM::Deep object is completely
-transaction-ready - it is not an option you have to turn on. Three new methods
-have been added to support them. They are:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item * begin_work()
-
-This starts a transaction.
-
-=item * commit()
-
-This applies the changes done within the transaction to the mainline and ends
-the transaction.
-
-=item * rollback()
-
-This discards the changes done within the transaction to the mainline and ends
-the transaction.
-
-=back
-
-Transactions in DBM::Deep are done using the MVCC method, the same method used
-by the InnoDB MySQL table type.
-
-=head1 CAVEATS / ISSUES / BUGS
-
-This section describes all the known issues with DBM::Deep. It you have found
-something that is not listed here, please send e-mail to L<jhuckaby@cpan.org>.
-
-=head2 UNUSED SPACE RECOVERY
-
-One major caveat with DBM::Deep is that space occupied by existing keys and
-values is not recovered when they are deleted. Meaning if you keep deleting
-and adding new keys, your file will continuously grow. I am working on this,
-but in the meantime you can call the built-in C<optimize()> method from time to
-time (perhaps in a crontab or something) to recover all your unused space.
-
- $db->optimize(); # returns true on success
-
-This rebuilds the ENTIRE database into a new file, then moves it on top of
-the original. The new file will have no unused space, thus it will take up as
-little disk space as possible. Please note that this operation can take
-a long time for large files, and you need enough disk space to temporarily hold
-2 copies of your DB file. The temporary file is created in the same directory
-as the original, named with a ".tmp" extension, and is deleted when the
-operation completes. Oh, and if locking is enabled, the DB is automatically
-locked for the entire duration of the copy.
-
-B<WARNING:> Only call optimize() on the top-level node of the database, and
-make sure there are no child references lying around. DBM::Deep keeps a reference
-counter, and if it is greater than 1, optimize() will abort and return undef.
-
-=head2 REFERENCES
-
-(The reasons given assume a high level of Perl understanding, specifically of
-references. You can safely skip this section.)
-
-Currently, the only references supported are HASH and ARRAY. The other reference
-types (SCALAR, CODE, GLOB, and REF) cannot be supported for various reasons.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item * GLOB
-
-These are things like filehandles and other sockets. They can't be supported
-because it's completely unclear how DBM::Deep should serialize them.
-
-=item * SCALAR / REF
-
-The discussion here refers to the following type of example:
-
- my $x = 25;
- $db->{key1} = \$x;
-
- $x = 50;
-
- # In some other process ...
-
- my $val = ${ $db->{key1} };
-
- is( $val, 50, "What actually gets stored in the DB file?" );
-
-The problem is one of synchronization. When the variable being referred to
-changes value, the reference isn't notified. This means that the new value won't
-be stored in the datafile for other processes to read. There is no TIEREF.
-
-It is theoretically possible to store references to values already within a
-DBM::Deep object because everything already is synchronized, but the change to
-the internals would be quite large. Specifically, DBM::Deep would have to tie
-every single value that is stored. This would bloat the RAM footprint of
-DBM::Deep at least twofold (if not more) and be a significant performance drain,
-all to support a feature that has never been requested.
-
-=item * CODE
-
-L<Data::Dump::Streamer/> provides a mechanism for serializing coderefs,
-including saving off all closure state. However, just as for SCALAR and REF,
-that closure state may change without notifying the DBM::Deep object storing
-the reference.
-
-=back
-
-=head2 FILE CORRUPTION
-
-The current level of error handling in DBM::Deep is minimal. Files I<are> checked
-for a 32-bit signature when opened, but other corruption in files can cause
-segmentation faults. DBM::Deep may try to seek() past the end of a file, or get
-stuck in an infinite loop depending on the level of corruption. File write
-operations are not checked for failure (for speed), so if you happen to run
-out of disk space, DBM::Deep will probably fail in a bad way. These things will
-be addressed in a later version of DBM::Deep.
-
-=head2 DB OVER NFS
-
-Beware of using DBM::Deep files over NFS. DBM::Deep uses flock(), which works
-well on local filesystems, but will NOT protect you from file corruption over
-NFS. I've heard about setting up your NFS server with a locking daemon, then
-using lockf() to lock your files, but your mileage may vary there as well.
-From what I understand, there is no real way to do it. However, if you need
-access to the underlying filehandle in DBM::Deep for using some other kind of
-locking scheme like lockf(), see the L<LOW-LEVEL ACCESS> section above.
-
-=head2 COPYING OBJECTS
-
-Beware of copying tied objects in Perl. Very strange things can happen.
-Instead, use DBM::Deep's C<clone()> method which safely copies the object and
-returns a new, blessed, tied hash or array to the same level in the DB.
-
- my $copy = $db->clone();
-
-B<Note>: Since clone() here is cloning the object, not the database location, any
-modifications to either $db or $copy will be visible to both.
-
-=head2 LARGE ARRAYS
-
-Beware of using C<shift()>, C<unshift()> or C<splice()> with large arrays.
-These functions cause every element in the array to move, which can be murder
-on DBM::Deep, as every element has to be fetched from disk, then stored again in
-a different location. This will be addressed in the forthcoming version 1.00.
-
-=head2 WRITEONLY FILES
-
-If you pass in a filehandle to new(), you may have opened it in either a readonly or
-writeonly mode. STORE will verify that the filehandle is writable. However, there
-doesn't seem to be a good way to determine if a filehandle is readable. And, if the
-filehandle isn't readable, it's not clear what will happen. So, don't do that.
-
