Unfortunately, that's already taken. The module on CPAN implements persistent objects with an LDAP backend (if I read the docs right). The problem is that it's generic enough to be made available without requiring a lot of misc. stuff (i.e., part of a larger package), but there's not a good place for it. At least, I'm not thinking of anything. It's also, imho, most useful in an Apache-like environment. I'll keep thinking about it. <rant> (to noone in particular) I've found this list to be far more helpful than the modules@perl list. I've submitted a fair number of modules to that list with little to no response. While I am thankful for those that have responded, it's never been enough to feel that there was closure. Keep in mind, this is my experience with several modules spread across three-five years (not sure when I first posted to the list). Other people have had different experiences. While I am willing to try it again, my experience makes me shy away from it like a child from a hot frying pan. This rant is in no way meant to start flames. Please do not. I will not respond -- I am just trying to express a small part of my frustration that causes me to post RFCs to the mod_perl list instead of the modules list, even if they are on the edge (or beyond) of mod_perl OT-ness. </rant> -- James Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 979-862-3725 Texas A&M CIS Operating Systems Group, Unix
