    use Fcntl;
    use ODBM_File;

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

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