I tried this and it was basically a blind alley. I don't know of any
troubles working with DBD::DBM and Class::DBI, but it appears DBD::DBM
in MLDBM mode expects only arrayrefs as values, not hashrefs. As such:

$Tied_hash{ '2' } =3D [ $val1, $val2 ]

Which it makes it totally unsuitables for my purposes, as all my data is li=
ke :

$Tied_hash{ '2' } =3D { key =3D> $val, key2 =3D> $val2 };


... which I think is actually _much_ more common in the wild than
arrayrefs. Anyway, DBD::DBM is young yet, so  maybe this will change
in the future.
