LMDB_File version 0.12
======================
LMDB_File is a Perl wrapper around the OpenLDAP's LMDB (Lightning
Memory-Mapped Database) C library.
LMDB is an ultra-fast, ultra-compact key-value data store developed
by Symas for the OpenLDAP Project. See http://symas.com/mdb/ for details.
LMDB_File provides full access to the complete C API, a thin Perl wrapper
with an Object-Oriented interface and a simple Perl's tie interface
compatible with others DBMs.
PREREQUISITES
Right now LMDB needs a 64bits platform.
Before you can build LMDB_File you need to have the following installed
on your system:
* Perl 5.10.0 or greater linked with pthreads.
See https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=122906
* A working C compiler.
* LMDB Version 0.9.17 or greater
(previous versions may work but will miss some features)
Some Linux distributions are now including it:
* Fedora 20+
`yum install lmdb-devel`
* Ubuntu
`apt-get install liblmdb-dev`
If the library and its header file isn't found installed in
your system, Makefile.PL will try to use Doug Hoyte's Alien::LMDB module
if available.
Otherwise, if you getting this from GitHub, a submodule is included
in 'liblmdb' that you can use, please check git documentation to
populate the directory.
* To run the test harness for this module:
- You must make sure that the directory where you have untarred this
module is NOT a network drive, e.g. NFS or AFS.
- You need the Test::Exception module installed.
INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
*** WARNING ***
This is an early release to allow the interested people the testing and
discussion of the module: there is some missing features and you should
be aware that the API isn't in stone yet. See TODO
