Links to DBM Tutorials?

[Morbus Iff]

Does anyone have any good tips or links to DBM tutorials? I'd like to start 
using DBFile and the like to store a database. From the limited knowledge I 
know of them, you can only use single level hashes?

Ultimately, I'm looking to store something like this:

  $pictures{001}{name}
                {width}
                ...
                {description}
  $pictures{002}{name}
                {width}
                ...
                {description}

Likewise, I'd be keeping a second database of:

  $comments{001}{1}{name}
                   {email}
  $comments{001}{2}{name}
                   {email}
  $comments{003}{1}{name}
                   {email}

And so on and so forth. An RDMBS is NOT an option for me. I could do this 
stuff easily with a delimited text file DB, but was under the impression 
that DBM allow faster access.

Any pointers or tips are appreciated.
