+MLDBM - store multi-level hash structure in single level tied hash
+
+This module, intended primarily for use with DBM packages, can serve as a       
+transparent interface to any TIEHASH package that must be used to               
+store arbitrary perl data, including nested references.                         
+                                                                                
+It works by converting the values in the hash that are references, to their     
+string representation in perl syntax.  When using a DBM database, it is this    
+string that gets stored.
