+
+
+ for (@array) {
+ s/PERL/Perl/g; # Replace PERL with Perl everywhere in the file
+ }
- # As you would expect
+ # These are just like regular push, pop, unshift, shift, and splice
+ # Except that they modify the file in the way you would expect
+
+ push @array, new recs...;
+ my $r1 = pop @array;

+
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Tie::File> represents a regular text file as a Perl array. Each
Changes to the array are reflected in the file immediately.
+Lazy people and beginners may now stop reading the manual.
+
=head2 C<recsep>
What is a 'record'? By default, the meaning is the same as for the

-probably C<"\n"> or C<"\r\n">. You may change the definition of
-"record" by supplying the C<recsep> option in the C<tie> call:

-separator string appended before they are written to the file, if they

-is C<"\n">, then the following two lines do exactly the same thing:

+to work as expected.

+separator string is C<"\n">, then the following two lines do exactly
+the same thing:
$array[17] = "Cherry pie";

replaced with "Cherry pie"; a newline character will separate line 17

whose trailing record separator string is missing.
-Inserting records that I<contain> the record separator string will
-produce a reasonable result, but if you can't foresee what this result
-will be, you'd better avoid doing this.
+Inserting records that I<contain> the record separator string is not
+supported by this module. It will probably produce a reasonable
+result, but what this result will be may change in a future version.
+Use 'splice' to insert records or to replace one record with several.
+
+=head2 C<autochomp>
+
+Normally, array elements have the record separator removed, so that if
+the file contains the text
+
+ Gold
+ Frankincense
+ Myrrh
+
+the tied array will appear to contain C<("Gold", "Frankincense",
+"Myrrh")>. If you set C<autochomp> to a false value, the record
+separator will not be removed. If the file above was tied with
+
+ tie @gifts, "Tie::File", $gifts, autochomp => 0;
+
+then the array C<@gifts> would appear to contain C<("Gold\n",
+"Frankincense\n", "Myrrh\n")>, or (on Win32 systems) C<("Gold\r\n",
+"Frankincense\r\n", "Myrrh\r\n")>.
=head2 C<mode>
Opening the data file in write-only or append mode is not supported.
-=head2 C<cachesize>
+=head2 C<memory>
+
+This is an upper limit on the amount of memory that C<Tie::File> will
+consume at any time while managing the file. This is used for two
+things: managing the I<read cache> and managing the I<deferred write
+buffer>.
Records read in from the file are cached, to avoid having to re-read
them repeatedly. If you read the same record twice, the first time it
will be stored in memory, and the second time it will be fetched from
-memory.
+the I<read cache>. The amount of data in the read cache will not
+exceed the value you specified for C<memory>. If C<Tie::File> wants
+to cache a new record, but the read cache is full, it will make room
+by expiring the least-recently visited records from the read cache.
-The cache has a bounded size; when it exceeds this size, the
-least-recently visited records will be purged from the cache. The
-default size is 2Mib. You can adjust the amount of space used for the
-cache by supplying the C<cachesize> option. The argument is the desired cache size, in bytes.
+The default memory limit is 2Mib. You can adjust the maximum read
+cache size by supplying the C<memory> option. The argument is the

- tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, cachesize => 20_000_000;

+The C<memory> value is not an absolute or exact limit on the memory
+used. C<Tie::File> objects contains some structures besides the read
+cache and the deferred write buffer, whose sizes are not charged
+against C<memory>.
+
+The cache itself consumes about 310 bytes per cached record, so if
+your file has many short records, you may want to decrease the cache
+memory limit, or else the cache overhead may exceed the size of the
+cached data.
+
+
+=head2 C<dw_size>
+
+(This is an advanced feature. Skip this section on first reading.)
+
+If you use deferred writing (See L<"Deferred Writing">, below) then
+data you write into the array will not be written directly to the
+file; instead, it will be saved in the I<deferred write buffer> to be
+written out later. Data in the deferred write buffer is also charged
+against the memory limit you set with the C<memory> option.
+
+You may set the C<dw_size> option to limit the amount of data that can
+be saved in the deferred write buffer. This limit may not exceed the
+total memory limit. For example, if you set C<dw_size> to 1000 and
+C<memory> to 2500, that means that no more than 1000 bytes of deferred
+writes will be saved up. The space available for the read cache will
+vary, but it will always be at least 1500 bytes (if the deferred write
+buffer is full) and it could grow as large as 2500 bytes (if the
+deferred write buffer is empty.)
+
+If you don't specify a C<dw_size>, it defaults to the entire memory
+limit.

+to fetch or store the record at line C<$n>, respectively; similarly
+the other tied array methods. (See L<perltie> for details.) You may
+also call the following methods on this object:
+
+=head2 C<flock>
+
+ $o->flock(MODE)
+
+will lock the tied file. C<MODE> has the same meaning as the second
+argument to the Perl built-in C<flock> function; for example
+C<LOCK_SH> or C<LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB>. (These constants are provided by
+the C<use Fcntl ':flock'> declaration.)
+
+C<MODE> is optional; the default is C<LOCK_EX>.
+
+C<Tie::File> maintains an internal table of the byte offset of each
+record it has seen in the file.
+
+When you use C<flock> to lock the file, C<Tie::File> assumes that the
+read cache is no longer trustworthy, because another process might
+have modified the file since the last time it was read. Therefore, a
+successful call to C<flock> discards the contents of the read cache
+and the internal record offset table.
+
+C<Tie::File> promises that the following sequence of operations will
+be safe:
+
+ my $o = tie @array, "Tie::File", $filename;
+ $o->flock;
+
+In particular, C<Tie::File> will I<not> read or write the file during
+the C<tie> call. (Exception: Using C<mode =E<gt> O_TRUNC> will, of
+course, erase the file during the C<tie> call. If you want to do this
+safely, then open the file without C<O_TRUNC>, lock the file, and use
+C<@array = ()>.)
+
+The best way to unlock a file is to discard the object and untie the
+array. It is probably unsafe to unlock the file without also untying
+it, because if you do, changes may remain unwritten inside the object.
+That is why there is no shortcut for unlocking. If you really want to
+unlock the file prematurely, you know what to do; if you don't know
+what to do, then don't do it.
+
+All the usual warnings about file locking apply here. In particular,
+note that file locking in Perl is B<advisory>, which means that
+holding a lock will not prevent anyone else from reading, writing, or
+erasing the file; it only prevents them from getting another lock at
+the same time. Locks are analogous to green traffic lights: If you
+have a green light, that does not prevent the idiot coming the other
+way from plowing into you sideways; it merely guarantees to you that
+the idiot does not also have a green light at the same time.
+
+=head2 C<autochomp>
+
+ my $old_value = $o->autochomp(0); # disable autochomp option
+ my $old_value = $o->autochomp(1); # enable autochomp option
+
+ my $ac = $o->autochomp(); # recover current value
+
+See L<"autochomp">, above.
+
+=head2 C<defer>, C<flush>, C<discard>, and C<autodefer>
+
+See L<"Deferred Writing">, below.
+
+=head2 C<offset>
+
+ $off = $o->offset($n);
+
+This method returns the byte offset of the start of the C<$n>th record
+in the file. If there is no such record, it returns an undefined
+value.
+
+=head1 Tying to an already-opened filehandle
+
+If C<$fh> is a filehandle, such as is returned by C<IO::File> or one
+of the other C<IO> modules, you may use:
+
+ tie @array, 'Tie::File', $fh, ...;
+
+Similarly if you opened that handle C<FH> with regular C<open> or
+C<sysopen>, you may use:
+
+ tie @array, 'Tie::File', \*FH, ...;
+
+Handles that were opened write-only won't work. Handles that were
+opened read-only will work as long as you don't try to modify the
+array. Handles must be attached to seekable sources of data---that
+means no pipes or sockets. If C<Tie::File> can detect that you
+supplied a non-seekable handle, the C<tie> call will throw an
+exception. (On Unix systems, it can detect this.)
+
+Note that Tie::File will only close any filehandles that it opened
+internally. If you passed it a filehandle as above, you "own" the
+filehandle, and are responsible for closing it after you have untied
+the @array.
+
+=head1 Deferred Writing
+
+(This is an advanced feature. Skip this section on first reading.)
+
+Normally, modifying a C<Tie::File> array writes to the underlying file
+immediately. Every assignment like C<$a[3] = ...> rewrites as much of
+the file as is necessary; typically, everything from line 3 through
+the end will need to be rewritten. This is the simplest and most
+transparent behavior. Performance even for large files is reasonably
+good.
+
+However, under some circumstances, this behavior may be excessively
+slow. For example, suppose you have a million-record file, and you
+want to do:
+
+ for (@FILE) {
+ $_ = "> $_";
+ }
+
+The first time through the loop, you will rewrite the entire file,
+from line 0 through the end. The second time through the loop, you
+will rewrite the entire file from line 1 through the end. The third
+time through the loop, you will rewrite the entire file from line 2 to
+the end. And so on.
+
+If the performance in such cases is unacceptable, you may defer the
+actual writing, and then have it done all at once. The following loop
+will perform much better for large files:
+
+ (tied @a)->defer;
+ for (@a) {
+ $_ = "> $_";
+ }
+ (tied @a)->flush;
+
+If C<Tie::File>'s memory limit is large enough, all the writing will
+done in memory. Then, when you call C<-E<gt>flush>, the entire file
+will be rewritten in a single pass.
+
+(Actually, the preceding discussion is something of a fib. You don't
+need to enable deferred writing to get good performance for this
+common case, because C<Tie::File> will do it for you automatically
+unless you specifically tell it not to. See L<"autodeferring">,
+below.)
+
+Calling C<-E<gt>flush> returns the array to immediate-write mode. If
+you wish to discard the deferred writes, you may call C<-E<gt>discard>
+instead of C<-E<gt>flush>. Note that in some cases, some of the data
+will have been written already, and it will be too late for
+C<-E<gt>discard> to discard all the changes. Support for
+C<-E<gt>discard> may be withdrawn in a future version of C<Tie::File>.
+
+Deferred writes are cached in memory up to the limit specified by the
+C<dw_size> option (see above). If the deferred-write buffer is full
+and you try to write still more deferred data, the buffer will be
+flushed. All buffered data will be written immediately, the buffer
+will be emptied, and the now-empty space will be used for future
+deferred writes.
+
+If the deferred-write buffer isn't yet full, but the total size of the
+buffer and the read cache would exceed the C<memory> limit, the oldest
+records will be expired from the read cache until the total size is
+under the limit.
+
+C<push>, C<pop>, C<shift>, C<unshift>, and C<splice> cannot be
+deferred. When you perform one of these operations, any deferred data
+is written to the file and the operation is performed immediately.
+This may change in a future version.
+
+If you resize the array with deferred writing enabled, the file will
+be resized immediately, but deferred records will not be written.
+This has a surprising consequence: C<@a = (...)> erases the file
+immediately, but the writing of the actual data is deferred. This
+might be a bug. If it is a bug, it will be fixed in a future version.
+
+=head2 Autodeferring
+
+C<Tie::File> tries to guess when deferred writing might be helpful,
+and to turn it on and off automatically.
+
+ for (@a) {
+ $_ = "> $_";
+ }
+
+In this example, only the first two assignments will be done
+immediately; after this, all the changes to the file will be deferred
+up to the user-specified memory limit.
+
+You should usually be able to ignore this and just use the module
+without thinking about deferring. However, special applications may
+require fine control over which writes are deferred, or may require
+that all writes be immediate. To disable the autodeferment feature,
+use
+
+ (tied @o)->autodefer(0);
+
+or
+
+ tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, autodefer => 0;
+
+
+Similarly, C<-E<gt>autodefer(1)> re-enables autodeferment, and
+C<-E<gt>autodefer()> recovers the current value of the autodefer setting.
+
+
+=head1 CONCURRENT ACCESS TO FILES
+
+Caching and deferred writing are inappropriate if you want the same
+file to be accessed simultaneously from more than one process. Other
+optimizations performed internally by this module are also
+incompatible with concurrent access. A future version of this module will
+support a C<concurrent =E<gt> 1> option that enables safe concurrent access.
+
+Previous versions of this documentation suggested using C<memory
+=E<gt> 0> for safe concurrent access. This was mistaken. Tie::File
+will not support safe concurrent access before version 0.98.

-In particular, note that:

+The behavior of tied arrays is not precisely the same as for regular
+arrays. For example:
+
+ # This DOES print "How unusual!"
+ undef $a[10]; print "How unusual!\n" if defined $a[10];
+
+C<undef>-ing a C<Tie::File> array element just blanks out the
+corresponding record in the file. When you read it back again, you'll
+get the empty string, so the supposedly-C<undef>'ed value will be
+defined. Similarly, if you have C<autochomp> disabled, then
+
+ # This DOES print "How unusual!" if 'autochomp' is disabled

+ print "How unusual!\n" if $a[10];
+
+Because when C<autochomp> is disabled, C<$a[10]> will read back as

+For many common uses of the module, the read cache is a liability.
+For example, a program that inserts a single record, or that scans the

+optimization: The cache should be initially disabled. Here's a hybrid
+approach: Initially, the cache is disabled, but the cache code
+maintains statistics about how high the hit rate would be *if* it were
+enabled. When it sees the hit rate get high enough, it enables
+itself. The STAT comments in this code are the beginning of an
+implementation of this.
-Paragraph mode?
+Record locking with fcntl()? Then the module might support an undo
+log and get real transactions. What a tour de force that would be.
-More tests.
+Keeping track of the highest cached record. This would allow reads-in-a-row
+to skip the cache lookup faster (if reading from 1..N with empty cache at
