I think a minimal API was even fleshed out - but it probably died there and would love someone to pick it up. Sam.

Would there be a way for me to say "Yes, I understand that Perl may not generically understand how to revert this outside resource, such as a database, but I do." and do a catch-type block for the revert?

ACID transactions for in-memory data structures
I've been working on DBM::Deep, a way to have P5's data structures stored on disk instead of RAM. One of the major features I've been adding has been ACID transactions. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be very feasible to do this natively in P5. But, would it be possible to do it natively in P6? As in, supported within the interpreter vs. through some sort of overloading. Rob
