### 7.2.52 SDBM_File - Tied Access to SDBM Files

    use Fcntl;
    use SDBM_File;

    tie(%hash, SDBM_File, 'Op.dbmx', O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0644);
    # read/writes of %hash are now read/writes of the file, Op.dmx.pag
    untie %h;

See Perl's built-in tie function. Also see the DB_File module in this chapter for a description of a closely related module.
