Hi.

I was wondering if anybody knows that exact format of the MOO
database or if there is any documentation on this?

Thanx in advance!

Check through the moo source code. The code describes the format of
the database pretty well, and is a great example for writing code to
manipulate it yourself.

I've been tempted to write Perl scripts for Moo-db manipulation (like
reintegrating core-changes from Lambda) for a while now.

There is no documentation for this other than the code itself.  The format has
changed from release to release and will be changing yet again in 1.8.0, though
maybe only in relatively minor ways.  In 1.9.0, when we go disk-based, the
format will change utterly and completely, though there will, as always, be a
simple upgrade path to the new format.
