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

AVAILABILITY

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

BUGS

29       The available functions and the gdbm/perl interface need to be docu‐
30       mented.
31
32       The GDBM error number and error message interface needs to be added.
