=head1 NAME

Search::Dict, look - search for key in dictionary file

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Search::Dict;
    look *FILEHANDLE, $key, $dict, $fold;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Sets file position in FILEHANDLE to be first line greater than or equal
(stringwise) to I<$key>.  Returns the new file position, or -1 if an error
occurs.

The flags specify dictionary order and case folding:

If I<$dict> is true, search by dictionary order (ignore anything but word
characters and whitespace).

If I<$fold> is true, ignore case.
