=head1 NAME
GDBM_File - Perl5 access to the gdbm library.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<GDBM_File> is a module which allows Perl programs to make use of the
facilities provided by the GNU gdbm library. If you intend to use this
module you should really have a copy of the gdbm manualpage at hand.
Most of the libgdbm.a functions are available through the GDBM_File
interface.
=head1 AVAILABILITY
gdbm is available from any GNU archive. The master site is
C<ftp.gnu.org>, but you are strongly urged to use one of the many
mirrors. You can obtain a list of mirror sites from
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html.
=head1 BUGS
The available functions and the gdbm/perl interface need to be documented.
The GDBM error number and error message interface needs to be added.
