SQLite has a concept of "virtual tables" which look like regular tables but are implemented internally through specific functions. In the next version of DBD::SQLite it will be possible to implement virtual tables in Perl. This offers lots of exciting possibilities, like joining regular DBMS data with some other kind of data within your
Perl programs, or having virtual columns containing file contents.
