Have you looked at PStore?

Yes. The serialisation isn't the problem - it's the tidying up
afterwards. While I'm actually using YAML for the serialisation dump of
the array entries, I could quite easily swap it out for PStore if it
turns out that transactions become vital. I might do that anyway -
PStore's mature, and my code isn't :-)

You might find fsdb an interesting alternative to pstore:

That looks quite intriguing. I'll have to take a look at that.
