DESCRIPTION

       This DBM filter allows you to choose the character encoding will be
       store in the DBM file. The usage is

           $db->Filter_Push('encode' => ENCODING);

       where "ENCODING" must be a valid encoding name that the Encode module
       recognises.

       A fatal error will be thrown if:

       1    The Encode module is not available.

       2    The encoding requested is not supported by the Encode module.
