Most of these non- mod-perl centric questions can be answered faster
with a lookup on perlmonks.org
oddly though, this list is bouncing today.
anyways, a quick search on gdbm on perlmonks likes to this node:

looks way cool - thx Chris. Does libgdbm come with perl distros? I

I ask is that it is very painful to get the government to change

You don't have to use gdbm. You can use whatever library you've
been using
with dbmopen().
If you do have gdbm, GDBM_File would be a good choice. Other options
include DB_File, SDBM_File, and NDBM_File.
AnyDBM_File has a comparison of the different libraries.
