DESCRIPTIONGDBM_File 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 GDBM_File
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 mir‐
rors. 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 docu‐
mented.
The GDBM error number and error message interface needs to be added.
