AnyDBM_File(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide AnyDBM_File(3pm)NAME
AnyDBM_File - provide framework for multiple DBMs
NDBM_File, DB_File, GDBM_File, SDBM_File, ODBM_File - various DBM implementations
SYNOPSIS
use AnyDBM_File;
DESCRIPTION
This module is a "pure virtual base class"--it has nothing of its own. It's just there to inherit from one of the various DBM packages.
It prefers ndbm for compatibility reasons with Perl 4, then Berkeley DB (See DB_File), GDBM, SDBM (which is always there--it comes with
Perl), and finally ODBM. This way old programs that used to use NDBM via dbmopen() can still do so, but new ones can reorder @ISA:
BEGIN { @AnyDBM_File::ISA = qw(DB_File GDBM_File NDBM_File) }
use AnyDBM_File;
Having multiple DBM implementations makes it trivial to copy database formats:
use Fcntl; use NDBM_File; use DB_File;
tie %newhash, 'DB_File', $new_filename, O_CREAT|O_RDWR;
tie %oldhash, 'NDBM_File', $old_filename, 1, 0;
%newhash = %oldhash;

Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.

One thing I searched for was this:
