MLDBM in GSAR/MLDBM-1.22.tar.gz (Aug 26 1996: 4,243 bytes)
              Transparently store multi-level data in DBM [GSAR]
              [readme (Aug 26 1996: 991 bytes) ]

This module requires Data::Dumper.

Unfortunately, I have no idea if Data::Dumper or MLDBM work on MacPerl, as
I have never done much with DBM on a Mac.  But to get the modules, go to:

        http://perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/GSAR/

Good luck,
