COP 3013 (Perl) Program 3

There's More at the Store

Due Thursday 25 October 2001.

Modify your solution to the Approaching the Store problem to use a dbm file to represent the inventory item descriptions and subitems. In particular, implement the following behavior:

  1. If, when your program runs, there is/are no dbm database(s) corresponding to the inventory file, it will create it/them from the inventory file.

  2. If, when your program runs, the inventory file is newer than the corresponding dbm file(s), it will recreate it/them from the inventory file.
