in reply to Tie data hash to DBM file leaving massive cruft?

What is all this extra cruft? Is this due to something about our re-writing sub-routine? Or a typical result in a DBM file? Or something else?

Why examine the insides of obscure binary file format, without learning something about obscure binary file format?

Good luck, its too obscure for my taste :)
