+This is the perl5 interface to Berkeley DB version 3, which it
+depends on.
+
+You may want to use this, instead of the default dbm that perl
+provides, as that one is based on version 1, which is seriously
+buggy. E.g., if keys or data are over a hundred bytes or so, bad
+things may happen to your dbm files. Never mind all the extra
+features....
