perl-AnyData

The AnyData modules provide simple and uniform access to data from many sources -- perl arrays, local files, remote files retrievable via http or ftp -- and in many formats including flat files (CSV, Fixed Length, Tab Delimited, etc), standard format files (Web Logs, Passwd files, etc.), structured files (XML, HTML Tables) and binary files with parseable headers (mp3s, jpgs, pngs, etc). There are two separate modules, each providing a different interface: AnyData.pm provides a simple tied hash interface and DBD::AnyData provides a DBI/SQL interface. You can use either or both depending on your needs.
