=head1 NAME
Search::Dict, look - search for key in dictionary file
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Search::Dict;
look *FILEHANDLE, $key, $dict, $fold;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Sets file position in FILEHANDLE to be first line greater than or equal
(stringwise) to I<$key>. Returns the new file position, or -1 if an error
occurs.
The flags specify dictionary order and case folding:
If I<$dict> is true, search by dictionary order (ignore anything but word
characters and whitespace).
If I<$fold> is true, ignore case.
