Maybe - I only found one good example from a super search here and many references to DB_File, but they both required modules which are not part of the core distribution. Well, at least NDBM_File was not on my installation of ActivePerl

Obviously tie is the better choice or dbmopen wouldn't have become deprecated, but why was it so hard to find an example of how to do it.
