Instead of creating indexes, we could use the indexed array
already available in BerkeleyDB using the recno structure;
then, we walk along the cursor from any desired line_num.
The database, of course, is always update-table.
This command constructs such Recno database
from our given text file: cat foo.txt | db4.3_load -T -t recno bar.db
Although simple, the command above needs further refinement if we are
unsatisfied with the default definition of newline, with the escaping of
inserted text, or problems due to binary input. (See db4.3_load(1) )

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
