DESCRIPTION
This module allows the caller to tie an array which will then be stored
on the disk. This allows the same data to be used each time a program
runs without having to manually restore the data. Note that references
are not allowed, because they will not reincarnate correctly between
program invocations. The rules are similar to hash keys.
INSTALLATION
