DBM_Filter::encode

    use SDBM_File; # or DB_File, GDBM_File, NDBM_File, ODBM_File
    use DBM_Filter ;
    $db = tie %hash, ...
    $db->Filter_Push('encode' => 'iso-8859-16');

This DBM filter allows you to choose the character encoding will be store in the DBM file. The usage is

    $db->Filter_Push('encode' => ENCODING);

where "ENCODING" must be a valid encoding name that the Encode module recognises.

A fatal error will be thrown if:

1.

The Encode module is not available.

2.

The encoding requested is not supported by the Encode module.
