NAME

TM::Materialized::MLDBM - Topic Maps, DBM Storage

SYNOPSIS

my $tm = new TM::Materialized::MLDBM (file => '/tmp/map.dbm');
# modify the map here.....
# and flush everything onto the file
$tm->sync_out;

# later in this game, get it back from file
my $tm2 = new TM::Materialized::MLDBM (file => '/tmp/map.dbm');
$tm2->sync_in;

DESCRIPTION

This package just implements TM::Resource with a MLDBM store. The methods sync_in and sync_out do the obvious things of copying between the DBM file and the in-memory representation. Only during the synchronisation the DBM file is locked. Otherwise the two copies are independent.

The synchronisation is quite performant, certainly faster than using a text representation of the map.
