NAME
BerkeleyDB::Easy::Cursor - Cursor to database handle
METHODS
Most of the functionaly for BerkeleyDB cursors are crammed into a few underlying functions, with the behavior specified by a flag. For example, to get the next record, you call c_get and provide the DB_NEXT flag. In this module, these are split out into individual wrapper methods, and the required flag is provided for you. You can specify additional flags and they will be OR'ed together with the default.
