DBMs usualy do not allow storing arrays or anything like that in the
values. You can only store a simple scalar there.
You will either have to use MLDBM or "serialize" the data yourself.
For example you could join the "meaning"s using a character that's
guaranteed to never appear there and store the resulting string in
the DBM. And then you'll just split the string.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain.
I can't find it.
