module tying hashes to relational databases

Tie::DBI is a Perl module for using a database as a backing store for Perl's hash data structure. One field of the table becomes the hash key, and another becomes the value. Once tied, all standard hash operations work, including iteration over keys and values.

Using the Storable module, you may store complex Perl data structures (even objects) in the database and later retrieve them. When used in conjunction with a network-accessible database, this provides a simple way to transmit data structures between Perl programs on different machines.
