NAME
       AnyData::Format::Paragraph - tiedhash & DBI/SQL access to vertical files

SYNOPSIS
	use AnyData;
	my $table = adHash( 'Paragraph', $filename,'r',$flags );
	while (my $row = each %$table) {
	   print $row->{name},"
" if $row->{country} =~ /us|mx|ca/;
	}
	# ... other tied hash operations

	OR

	use DBI
	my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:');
	$dbh->func('table1','Paragraph', $filename,$flags,'ad_catalog');
	my $hits = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
	    SELECT name FROM table1 WHERE country = 'us'
	});
	# ... other DBI/SQL operations

DESCRIPTION
       This is a plug-in format parser for the AnyData and DBD::AnyData modules.

       It handles "vertical" files in which the record name occurs on a line by itself followed by records on lines by themselves, e.g.

	Photoslop
	/My Photos/
	.jpg, .gif, .psd

	Nutscrape
	/htdocs/
	.html, .htm

       Please refer to the documentation for AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm for further details.
