     SYNOPSIS

     DESCRIPTION

         Private Variables via my()

         Persistent Private Variables

         Temporary Values via local()

         Lvalue subroutines

         Passing Symbol Table Entries (typeglobs)

         When to Still Use local()
             1. You need to give a global variable a temporary
             value, especially $_, 2.  You need to create a local
             file or directory handle or a local function, 3.
             You want to temporarily change just one element of
             an array or hash

     Modules: Creation, Use, and Abuse

         Guidelines for Module Creation
             Do similar modules already exist in some form?, Try
             to design the new module to be easy to extend and
             reuse, Some simple style guidelines, Select what to
             export, Select a name for the module, Have you got
             it right?, README and other Additional Files, A
             description of the module/package/extension etc, A
             copyright notice - see below, Prerequisites - what
             else you may need to have, How to build it -
             possible changes to Makefile.PL etc, How to install
             it, Recent changes in this release, especially
             incompatibilities, Changes / enhancements you plan
             to make in the future, Adding a Copyright Notice,
             Give the module a version/issue/release number, How
             to release and distribute a module, Take care when
             changing a released module

         Guidelines for Converting Perl 4 Library Scripts into Modules
             There is no requirement to convert anything,
             Consider the implications, Make the most of the
             opportunity, The pl2pm utility will get you started,
             Adds the standard Module prologue lines, Converts
             package specifiers from ' to ::, Converts die(...)
             to croak(...), Several other minor changes

         Guidelines for Reusing Application Code
             Complete applications rarely belong in the Perl
             Module Library, Many applications contain some Perl
             code that could be reused, Break-out the reusable
             code into one or more separate module files, Take
             the opportunity to reconsider and redesign the
             interfaces, In some cases the 'application' can then
             be reduced to a small

     DB_File - Perl5 access to Berkeley DB version 1.x

     SYNOPSIS

     DESCRIPTION
         DB_HASH, DB_BTREE, DB_RECNO

         Using DB_File with Berkeley DB version 2 or 3

         Interface to Berkeley DB


         Opening a Berkeley DB Database File

         Default Parameters

         In Memory Databases

     DB_HASH

         A Simple Example

     DB_BTREE

         Changing the BTREE sort order

         Handling Duplicate Keys

         The get_dup() Method

         The find_dup() Method

         The del_dup() Method

         Matching Partial Keys

     DB_RECNO

         The 'bval' Option

         A Simple Example

         Extra RECNO Methods
             $X->push(list) ;, $value = $X->pop ;, $X->shift,
             $X->unshift(list) ;, $X->length

         Another Example

     THE API INTERFACE
         $status = $X->get($key, $value [, $flags]) ;, $status =
         $X->put($key, $value [, $flags]) ;, $status = $X-
         >del($key [, $flags]) ;, $status = $X->fd ;, $status =
         $X->seq($key, $value, $flags) ;, $status = $X-
         >sync([$flags]) ;

     DBM FILTERS
         filter_store_key, filter_store_value, filter_fetch_key,
         filter_fetch_value

         The Filter
