tie hash variable to file

[Ken Gillett]

I want to pass a string to a subroutine and use that as the name of the 
hash to tie to a dbm file (or use dbmopen). But I can't make it work 
with a hash reference in the sub routine.

If I use the same code outside the sub or hard code the hash name (i.e. 
no ref) within the sub it all works perfectly.

Can anyone enlighten me how I can use the string within the sub to make 
the name of the hash variable, tie/dbmopen it and be able to use the 
hash outside the sub? 'Cos I'm stuck:-(

Thanks.
