in reply to Differences between normal hashes and DBM tied hashes

For storing complex data in a DBM file, you might like to look at the MLDBM module from CPAN.

The documentation for dbmopen says "This function has been superseded by the tie() function". I suggest you take a look at tie as it gives you more control and power over your tied objects.
