Perl Object-Oriented Persistence
Appearance
Perl Object-Oriented Persistence (POOP) is the term given to refer to object-relational mapping mechanisms written in the Perl programming language to provide object persistence. Dave Folksy divides POOP mechanisms into two categories
:
- -POOP Mappers: These tools attempt to map RDBMS data structures (tables, columns, rows) onto Perl objects.
- POOP-Persistence Tools: These tools attempt to map Perl objects into an arbitrary format, often an EDEMA.
