in reply to DBM (or something better?) question

Which DBM are you using? SDBM?

If so then install DB_File and get rid of the size limit. The interface is the same as the one you are using. Note: The tie interface is better than the built-in dbmopen hack. Installing a new type of dbm won't break working programs with tie. It will with dbmopen.

    This is twice in one day that I've run-across the mention of dbmopen.

    Why hasn't dbmopen been completely deprecated in favor of tie?
