Subject: option to forego DBM::Deep
Date: Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:59:10 -0500
To: bug-Net-MAC-Vendor [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Matt Zagrabelny <mzagrabe [...] d.umn.edu>
Greetings, Thanks for writing Net::MAC::Vendor, it is very useful. I am encountering an issue though: I've got DBM::Deep installed and I would like to *not* use it with Net::MAC::Vendor. The attached patch allows you to choose whether Net::MAC::Vendor uses DBM::Deep, it works for me and should not break any scripts that use 1.18. It would allow users to do something like: use Net::MAC::Vendor; Net::MAC::Vendor::set_cached(use_dbm_deep => 0); Net::MAC::Vendor::load_cache(); my $info = Net::MAC::Vendor::fetch_oui_from_cache('00:10:18:5c:c3:ad'); or omit the set_cached line and the module functions just as it had before. Please consider merging the patch into upstream. Thanks for your contribution to free software!

Can you explain that? Do you want to use something else? If you don't want to use a cache, don't use fetch_oui_from_cache(). Instead, just use fetch_oui_from_ieee. Or, do you want to use an in-memory cache, so you fetch and parse *all* of the data every time you run the program, but then discard it at the end of the run? If it's the latter, I can just adjust the cache setup code.

Yep, that is what I am doing, and would like to continue doing. ;) Show quoted text

Okay, great. The wall-clock run times vary quite a bit: in-memory cache (no DBM::Deep) = ~6 seconds disk cached (using DBM::Deep) = ~ 1:40 seconds
