SYNOPSIS
           use SDBMFile; # or DBFile, or GDBMFile, or NDBMFile, or ODBMFile
           use DBMFilter ;

           $db = tie %hash, ...
           $db->FilterPush('null');

DESCRIPTION
       This filter ensures that all data written to the DBM file is null ter-
       minated. This is useful when you have a perl script that needs to
       interoperate with a DBM file that a C program also uses. A fairly com-
       mon issue is for the C application to include the terminating null in a
       string when it writes to the DBM file. This filter will ensure that all
       data written to the DBM file can be read by the C application.
