            print $row->{name},"\n" if $row->{country} =~ /us|mx|ca/;
        }
        # ... other tied hash operations

        use DBI
        my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:');
        $dbh->func('table1','Init', $filename,$flags,'ad_catalog');
        my $hits = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{

DESCRIPTION

       This is a parser for simple name=value style Ini files.  Soon it will also handle files
       with sections.
