after much cpan digging and what not, i think i've found a way to create
portable dbm files.  solution: use Storable.

use MLDBM qw(DB_File Storable);
tie %data, 'MLDBM','file.db',O_CREAT|O_RDWR,0640 or die;
(tied %data)->DumpMeth('portable');

that, for me at least, is creating machine independent binary dbms. i'm
pretty happy about it. :)
