Efficiently search for data with fallback arrays and caching options using this software. It allows you to quickly find the information you need by searching through multiple levels until it is located, and saves time by utilizing caching where applicable.
Data::Fallback is a fantastic Perl module that offers standard fallback capabilities. It enables users to navigate through an array of levels until they find their data, while also providing caching functionality when needed. A prime example of the module's benefits is cacheing a database to a conf file and then to memory.
With Data::Fallback, users can submit an array reference of hash references (an object property called 'list') that describes how to retrieve data for each step. Each hash reference requires a package, currently designated as Memory, ConfFile, DBI, or WholeFile. Users can also choose to set their update acceptance levels for each step.
Data::Fallback then executes a search through the array, checking for the data and halting the search when the data is found. If requested, it updates up the array and returns the data. In terms of the module's concepts, a group is considered a row, while an item is considered a column. Overall, Data::Fallback is an excellent tool for finding and caching data effectively.
