MEMOIZE::NDBM_FILE(3pm)

okay bestie, this is Memoize::NDBM_File(3pm) from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide 💖 it’s short, it’s specific, and it’s lowkey a time capsule.

✨ NAME ✨

Memoize::NDBM_File — glue that provides EXISTS for NDBM_File for Storable use 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this class provides EXISTS support for NDBM_File. that’s the whole assignment 💅

plot twist though 😭 in Perl 5.37.3 (link drop: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/c0a1a377c02ed789f5eff667f46a2314a05c5a4c), support for "EXISTS" was added to NDBM_File itself. so any code that already requires perl >= 5.37.3 should be rewritten to use NDBM_File directly. periodt 👑

fr fr, that rewrite note is the main character here: if you’re already on perl >= 5.37.3, go direct to NDBM_File instead of using this glue. iykyk 🌈
