Dear Matt,

The corresponding code which worked for me, using DB_FILE, and which led to
sensible file sizes, was:

  >	$Entries     = {} ;
  >	$EntryFile   = "whatever" ;
  >     tie %$Entries, "DB_File", $EntryFile,  O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0640,
$DB_BTREE ;

That's the limit of my experience, so I hope it is of some use.

all the best,
rkm
