GDBM_File is a module that allows Perl programs to make use of the facilities provided by the GNU gdbm library. If you intend to use this module, you should have a copy of the gdbm (3) manpage at hand.
Most of the
libgdbm.a
functions are available as methods of the
GDBM_File
interface.
7.2.34.1 Availability
gdbm is available from any GNU archive. The master site is prep.ai.mit.edu, but you 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 . A copy is also stored on CPAN:
