This module provides a tied hash interface and a \s-1DBI/SQL\s0 interface to passwd files. Simply specify the format as 'Passwd' and give the name of the file and the modules will build a hash table with the column names
username passwd UID GID fullname homedir shell
The username field is treated as a key column.
This module is a submodule of the AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm modules. Refer to their documentation for further details.
