looks way cool - thx Chris. Does libgdbm come with perl distros? I notice the man page is already on my RH Enterprise 4 client. The reason I ask is that it is very painful to get the government to change anything on a server without lengthy and exhaustive QA. I'd like to start using stuff like this before 2010. :-)

man GDBM_File
I must be missing the point. In the 3rd edition of the Camel Book, there is a passing reference in Chapter 14 that goes something like
You used to have to use dbmopen() but now you can use tie.
I am picking perl back up after 10 years and dbmopen() always worked great for me. I don't care about portability issues - the unix dbm file is going to live right there in cgi-bin with my script. But now Best Practices seems to require the use of tie, and, it looks to me, a helluvalotmore code to make it work.
Thoughts to enlighten a brain-dead Java guy?
