DBM libraries provide functions for storing, fetching, and generating lists of keys
The tie modules provide a glue layer between these libraries and Perl
MODULE = SDBM_File PACKAGE = SDBM_File PREFIX = sdbm_
#define sdbm_FETCH(db,key) sdbm_fetch(db->dbp,key)
These libraries are an attempt to keep a hash on the disk
Just as Tie::File is an attempt to keep an array on the disk
As with Tie::File, there are a lot of interesting tradeoffs to be made
