| The standard DBM toolki that comes with Perl (and is the system
used for many things under Unix) provides an efficient searching
mechanism. It's immediate practicality seems limited to the simple
file-based hash storage. This chapter helps to demonstrate how you can
take the basic features of a DBM database and, with some simple logic
and clever programming, you can support complex database
systems. You'll even find some examples of a relational database
written using the normally DBM storage system. The chapter also
expands on principles learnt in the previous chapter, and discusses
methods for reading and converting other database formats using
