NAME

SYNOPSIS
    use GDBM_File ;

DESCRIPTION
GDBM_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 "prep.ai.mit.edu", but your are strongly urged to use one of the many mirrors. You can obtain a list of mirror sites by issuing the
command    "finger fsf@prep.ai.mit.edu".

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