DESCRIPTION

Tie::LevelDB is the Perl Interface for Google NoSQL database called LevelDB. See http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/ for more details.

Interface is implemented both as a reflection of an original LevelDB C++ API and a Perl-ish TIEHASH mechanism.

EXPORT

None by default.

LIMITATIONS

LevelDB does not support storing of undef values. If undef is stored, the key is deleted instead.

Only text keys and values (i.e., without '\0' character) are supported.

Perl support for Options specification is not covered.

To use SNAPPY compression method, install it from http://code.google.com/p/snappy first and then (re-)compile this module.

LevelDB sources (version 2011-07-29) are bundled with this packages.
