DBM Files

[David Michael]

I have a dbm file that i am trying to work with here. I am working with an established 
format :
    
    user = tagname: value\n tagname: value\n tagname: value\n...

The problem I am having is where I try to retrieve that value of the tagname.
    
    dbmopen %PROXY, "$proxy", 0666 or die "Can't open proxy: $!\n";
   ($dbgifminsize,
    $dbgifq,
    $dbgifyuv,
    $dbjpgq,
    $dbjpgyuv,
    $dbframedmtu,
    $dbcookies,
    $dbgzip,
    $dbgzipminsize,
    $dbrefresh,
    $dbadvoid,
    $dbbanners) = split /:/, $PROXY{$user};
    dbmclose %PROXY;

I get back the tagname, but can't retreive the value. I simply do not know the best 
way to do it.
