Hmm- I contacted the naming committee, they took the matter under advisement, 
generated half-a-dozen candidates, handed it off to the selection committee 
(which by some quirk, only meets the second tuesday following a full moon) 
who selected three finalists then handed everything off to management, legal, 
and marketing research, who in turn rejected one right out (for unspecified 
legal reasons I think it was), and another after two independent (and 
double-blind-- from-birth apparently) focus groups gave it a pass-- until 
finally they settled on the one we didn't use. So we ended up with "Db.pm" 
instead. Your way seems a little easier, I may try that next time ;)

Probably not a code failure. I think Josh may have a clue in his reply (I read 
it before I saw yours).

No prob, that's what we're all here for-- so many people have helped me, its 
nice to be able to help someone else for a change ;)
