Allows Perl programs to make use of the facilities
provided by the GNU gdbm library.
Most of the libgdbm.a functions are available as
methods of the GDBM_File interface. (See the
gdbm(3) manpage and the description of DB_File in
this chapter.) The following is an example of the use of
GDBM_File:
use GDBM_File; tie %hash, "GDBM_File", $filename, &GDBM_WRCREAT, 0644); # Read/writes of %hash are now read/writes of $filename untie %hash;
