NAME

6       GDBM_File - Perl5 access to the gdbm library.
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use GDBM_File ;
10           tie %hash, 'GDBM_File', $filename, &GDBM_WRCREAT, 0640;
11           # Use the %hash array.
12           untie %hash ;
13

DESCRIPTION

15       GDBM_File is a module which allows Perl programs to make use of the
16       facilities provided by the GNU gdbm library.  If you intend to use this
17       module you should really have a copy of the gdbm manualpage at hand.
18
19       Most of the libgdbm.a functions are available through the GDBM_File
20       interface.
21
22       Unlike Perl's built-in hashes, it is not safe to "delete" the current
23       item from a GDBM_File tied hash while iterating over it with "each".
24       This is a limitation of the gdbm library.
25

AVAILABILITY

27       gdbm is available from any GNU archive.  The master site is
28       "ftp.gnu.org", but you are strongly urged to use one of the many
29       mirrors.  You can obtain a list of mirror sites from
30       <http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.
31

BUGS

33       The available functions and the gdbm/perl interface need to be
34       documented.
35
36       The GDBM error number and error message interface needs to be added.
