+XBase module provides access to XBase (dBase, Fox*) dbf files. It also
+handles memo files (dbt, fpt) and to certain extend index files (ndx, ntx,
+mdx, idx and cdx). The DBD::XBase is a database driver for DBI and provides
+simple SQL interface to reading and writing the database files. So this
+package offers two ways of accessing your beloved data in dbf files: XBase.pm
+and DBD::XBase. It is recommend using DBD::XBase and only resort to XBase.pm
+if you need something special which is not supported by the DBI interface.
