DB_File

• The best choice

• Berkeley DB was good ten years ago and it has gotten better

• Basic usage is very simple:

        use DB_File;
        tie %hash, 'DB_File', $file or die ...;

• Optional arguments:

     tie %hash, 'DB_File', $file, O_RDONLY;

     tie %hash, 'DB_File', $file, O_CREAT | O_RDWR;

     tie %hash, 'DB_File', $file, O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0666;

• Now use %hash just like any other hash
