I don't think that's what Sean is looking for (PStore's not an object 
db), but if it is, he might want to take a look at fsdb instead, which 
does what PStore does, but lets you treat a file tree as a hash, is 
thread safe (not just process safe), has pluggable file types (not just 
Marshal, but YAML, String, etc.), and other features.
