Thanks Rob, I was using wrong syntax. I now have another issue :-
my $db = new DBM::Deep( file => "hash.db", locking => 1, autoflush => 1 ); I want to reuse the same hash.db next time I run rather than recreate hash.db from scratch using new. Is it possible to do so ? I couldnot find any connect or something similar method to connect to existing db Regards, Punit
