Changes: – data is (un)metafied – compatibility with normal database usage – new parameter "zgdbm_tied", array holding tied parameters' names – new builtin "zgdmpath", returning ($REPLY) path to database file, of given tied parameter – new tests (Unicode, metafication, new parameter) – updated documentation Original db_gdbm was a no-go because it sucked widget names into database: https://asciinema.org/a/12ffm5ltpj9udnmradtat17am Current db_gdbm is a no-go because GDBM doesn't always return \0 terminated strings.. Sorry for that, but the update solves this. I sent is as patch, plus the new file (as option, patch includes) Test/V11db_gdbm.ztst. -- Sebastian Gniazdowski psprint2@fastmail.com
