------------------------
perldoc GDBM_File:
DESCRIPTION
GDBM_File is a module which allows Perl programs to make
use of the facilities provided by the GNU gdbm library.
------------------------
perldoc DB_File:
NAME
DB_File - Perl5 access to Berkeley DB version 1.x
------------------------
sleepycat == berkeley db (a product of sleepycat.com)
gdbm == gnu dbm library
dbm == a global name for all UNIX dbm implementations. This is the
name of the database type, like RDBMS or flat file are the names of the
relational DB implementations driven by SQL and simple text file
with line/record respectively...
But this should go to the perl newsgroup the best...
