# Data-Remember

Helps you remember complex information without giving yourself a headache. The

goal is to provide a way to store structured facts without having to spend a lot

of time worrying how the data is stored. This is basically a simple-minded

key-value store/NoSQL database interface. 

It is aimed at tools like bots that often need to record data like when a user

was last seen or how many karma points a subject has earned, etc. These small

simple facts tend to be just complex enough that a straight hash can give you

migraines, but too simple that a full blown MongoDB install is over-thinking the

solution.

This also presents a few simple ways to store information, called brains:

 * DBM::Deep - The DBM brain uses the DBM::Deep module, which is a hierarchical

   key-value/NoSQL storage engine built on an old style DBM format.

 * YAML - This will let you load andd store facts using a YAML file, such as

   might be useful for configuration data.

 * Memory - This stores in memory for the duration of the process.

 * Hybrid - Allows you to use other engines in combination by letting certain

   parent keys be marked as belonging to a given brain.

 * POE - This can be used in combination with POE to store the brain information

   in the POE heap.

The preferred installation method is from CPAN:

    cpanm Data::Remember

Or if you want to hack the code, feel free to fork and build it from here.

Cheers.
