- Question: Was it compiled with the GDBM libraries? I gather that it
- needs to be if one wishes to use dbm files with Perl. (I think THAT
- was the main reason that I attempted to compile it here at home.)

- Yeah, this perl 4.035 was compiled with GDBM 1.5, also ported by
- J.R.Bammi (should be available on a.a.u.e). I don't know, if you
- already know GDBM, but don't expect anything heavy in term of database
- functionality. There is essential nothing more, than the associative
- arrays in perl, which can be bound to a DBM file. Metalbase offers
- much more functionality, compared to real database management systems
- (what I've gathered from the README).
