- =head1 NAME
-
- GDBM_File - Perl5 access to the gdbm library.
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS

- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- B<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.
-
- =head1 AVAILABILITY
-
- gdbm is available from any GNU archive. The master site is
- C<ftp.gnu.org>, but you are strongly urged to use one of the many
- mirrors. You can obtain a list of mirror sites from
- http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html.
-
- =head1 BUGS
-
- The available functions and the gdbm/perl interface need to be documented.
-
- The GDBM error number and error message interface needs to be added.
-
- =head1 SEE ALSO
-
- L<perl(1)>, L<DB_File(3)>, L<perldbmfilter>.
