Hi I have a web application that needs to on an adhoc basis query a
hash lookup which should be persisted in memory - I have seen this
module "Persistent::Memory - A Persistent Class implemented using
Memory (RAM)" but I wanted to see if there was a much simpler
approach to taking a hash map and making it 'callable' while
persisted in memory using standard features not requiring a special
Perl module install..

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Why not a tied hash? See e.g. "perldoc DB_File".

Hi and thank you however that looks too complex - just trying to put a
hash in memory, why is that so hard to do ? Is there a simpler way ?

If you aren't willing to install modules and you aren't willing to use the
ones that are (often) standard, then I guess the next option would be to
hire someone who is willing to do one of those things.
