DESCRIPTION

A very simple and lazy inteface for invoking a BASECLASS::Index object as an index and storing it as $self->{index};

METHODS

_init_index

Invoke a handle to a new default index (assuming the class BASECLASS::Index holds a default definition and put it in the index data key of the Wyrd. It can then be used at any point in the body of the Wyrd's perl code.

_init_index

Shutdown the index and dispose of the handle. Must be called to avoid database/dbfile handle "leaks".
