This module will use Fuse module, part of FUSE (Filesystem in USErspace) available at http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ to mount your database as file system. Fuse is currently available only for Linux because it consists of kernel module and user-land library.
That will give you possibility to use normal file-system tools (cat, grep, vi) to manipulate data in database.
It's actually opposite of Oracle's intention to put everything into database.
Type perldoc Fuse::DBI or perldoc examples/webgui.pl to get more instructions.
INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
DEPENDENCIES
This module requires these other modules and libraries:
Fuse
DBI
Carp
POSIX
File::Find
Fuse module comes from CVS version of Fuse. It's important to have fuse library and perl bindings in sync. In past, it was tested with older versions of fuse, but no guarantees are made for this to work.
If you have problem compiling Fuse perl bindings, try to apply patch from fuse-perl-patch directory. This shouldn't be necessary because current CVS version of Fuse perl bindings already has this patch applied.
