GDBMFile(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide GDBMFile(3pm)

NAME
       GDBMFile - Perl5 access to the gdbm library.

SYNOPSIS
           use GDBMFile ;
           tie %hash, 'GDBMFile', $filename, &GDBMWRCREAT, 0640;
           # Use the %hash array.
           untie %hash ;

DESCRIPTION
       GDBMFile is a module which allows Perl programs to make use of the
       facilities provided by the GNU gdbm library.  If you intend to use this
       module you should really have a copy of the gdbm manualpage at hand.

       Most of the libgdbm.a functions are available through the GDBMFile
       interface.

AVAILABILITY
       gdbm is available from any GNU archive.  The master site is
       "ftp.gnu.org", but you are strongly urged to use one of the many
       mirrors.  You can obtain a list of mirror sites from
       http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html.

BUGS
       The available functions and the gdbm/perl interface need to be
       documented.

       The GDBM error number and error message interface needs to be added.
