in reply to Perl solution for storage of large number of small files
How are the 'files' keyed?
Is lookup always by name or are there other factors involved?
What are the minimum & maximum sizes? Are these predictable or are you likely to get occasional files that break those limits?
Do you need single or multiple concurrent access to them?
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
