NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION SEE ALSO AUTHOR NAME DBM_Filter::null - filter for DBM_Filter SYNOPSIS use SDBM_File; # or DB_File, GDBM_File, NDBM_File, or ODBM_File use DBM_Filter ; $db = tie %hash, ... $db->Filter_Push('null'); DESCRIPTION This filter ensures that all data written to the DBM file is null terminated. This is useful when you have a perl script that needs to interoperate with a DBM file that a C program also uses. A fairly common issue is for the C application to include the t

The usage is $db->Filter_Push('encode' => ENCODING); where "ENCODING" must be a valid encoding name that the Encode module recognises. A

dbmopen HASH,DBNAME,MASK [This function has been largely superseded by the tie function.] This binds a dbm(3), ndbm(3), sdbm(3), gdbm(3), or Berkeley DB file to a hash. HASH is the name of the hash. (Unlike normal open, the first argument is not a filehandle, even though it looks like one). DBNAME is the name of the database (without the .dir or .pag extension if any). If the database does not exist, it is created with protection specified by MASK (as modified by the umask). To prevent creation

dbmclose HASH [This function has been largely superseded by the untie function.] Breaks the binding between a DBM file and a hash. Portability issues: dbmclose in perlport.
