looking for light-weight data persistence solution in perl

Question

In my app I need to store some simple data both in memroy and in disk. A real database will be overkill in my case, so I need lighter one to handle the simple data persistence r

Answer 1

Storable lets you serialize any Perl data structure and read it back in. For in-memory storage, just use IO::Scalar to store into a string, that way you only need to write the code once and for writing to disk you just pass in another I/O handle.
