I'm using the hash to store different output languages and is only
ever updated by one person. 100% of the time it's being read.

Okay this solves my problem that I had.

Is it in anyway possible to tie the hash once to a dbm file?
At the moment it is tied every time a script is called.
Does the line $test = dbmopen(%output, "/my.dbm", 0600) ; on
every script cause much work?
