README for Net::NISplusTied --------------------------- The Net::NISplusTied allows you to treat NIS+ tables as if they were perl hashes, using tie() semantics. It has cultural links to Rick Harris (Rik.Harris@fulcrum.com.au) NISperl module, although the design goals were different. All you can do with Net::NISplusTied is to manipulate NIS+ tables. If you need faithful NIS+ API implementation, consider using NISperl instead. The assumption was that one would rarely need to create and delete NIS+ tables and groups from perl, at least not often enough to be seriously inconvenienced by having to invoke shell NIS+ commands. Thanks to SlipNet Inc. (www.slip.net) for sponsoring the development. -- Ilya Ketris
