No, apparently it's going to be in 5.8 or something, but on the Linux
box, I can't even get past 5.005!

Right, I was wondering about Dumper. I seen it in the docs. I'll give it
a try.

What's confusing me though, is there must have been ways to do reliable
DBM in the "old days", and yet I looked at numerous Perl sites today and
found very little relating to it. They either seem to assume you have
MySQL, or they assume you've got an up to date version of Berkley.

If anyone has links to DBM tutorials that work cross-platform on vanilla
v5.0 I'd be interested.
