Description
Hi,
I would like to use Rex::CMDB as a replacement for DBM::Deep in my Serverdeployment script.
Currently it does perform various tasks like figuring out and assigning an VPN address and a unique hostname to the server.
I would love to get rid of DBM::Deep at this position. It just sucks that I can't easy manipulate the data in the backend. And I would enjoy it if I could just use a premade API instead of saving the JSON/YAML Files with changes manually to disk(+all the errorhandling).
Kind Regards,
Stephan

Research direction
Start by locating the Rex::CMDB implementation and reviewing its current JSON/YAML persistence behavior, along with the requested DBM::Deep replacement use case. Determine the API scope for setting, changing, and deleting values, including error handling, and define completion through tests covering those operations and persistence.
