SYNOPSIS
# include the module
use NOTEDB;
# create a new NOTEDB object
$db = new NOTEDB("text", "/home/tom/.notedb", 4096, 24);
# decide to use encryption
# $key is the cipher to use for encryption
# $method must be either Crypt::IDEA or Crypt::DES
# you need Crypt::CBC, Crypt::IDEA and Crypt::DES to have installed.
$db->use_crypt($key,$method);
# do not use encryption
# this is the default
$db->no_crypt;
# get a single note
($note, $date) = $db->get_single(1);
# search for a certain note
%matching_notes = $db->get_search("somewhat");
# format of returned hash:
#$matching_notes{$numberofnote}->{'note' => 'something', 'date' => '23.12.2000 10:33:02'}
# get all existing notes
%all_notes = $db->get_all();
# format of returns hash like the one from get_search above
# get the next noteid available
$next_num = $db->get_nextnum();
# modify a certain note
$db->set_edit(1, "any text", "23.12.2000 10:33:02");
# create a new note
$db->set_new(5, "any new text", "23.12.2000 10:33:02");
# delete a certain note
$db->set_del(5);
# turn on encryption. CryptMethod must be IDEA, DES or BLOWFISH
$db->use_crypt("passphrase", "CryptMethod");
# turn off encryption. This is the default.
$db->no_crypt();
DESCRIPTION
You can use this module for accessing a note database. This backend uses a text file for storage and Config::General for accessing the file.
Currently, NOTEDB module is only used by note itself. But feel free to use it within your own project! Perhaps someone want to implement a web interface to note...
USAGE
please see the section SYNOPSIS, it says it all.
