NAME

ObjStore - Perl Extension For ObjectStore OODBMS

SYNOPSIS

Like perl? Sick of SQL? Ready to try something new? This extension implements databases that look exactly like normal perl. The same can also be extended with arbitrary C++ objects (!).

PREREQUISITES

You will need:

- ObjectStore 5.1 (see http://www.odi.com; evaluations are available!)

- Perl 5.005 (5.004_04 might still work too)

- Tree::Fat perl extension

- ExtUtils::ExCxx (only needed on Digital UNIX, HP (5.x), OS/2 (3.x), or MS Windows NT/95; send email)

See http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/JPRIT/ !
