I've used the DB_File implementation quite successfully with MacPerl,
in particular moving to use 'tie' directly instead of dbmopen().  I use
  o tied arrays (for which I wrote some simple push/pop, shift/unshift
    emulators since they aren't supported in the language directly ... yet)
  o tied hashes, and
  o have built a simple tied hash-of-hashes scheme.

With Perl 5, it let's me have numerous structures on disk unlike the
older Perl 4 and dbmopen() combo.
