Hello all. I have incorporated a DBM file into one of my programs. The problem I am having is that I cannot store "" as a key in a DBM file. (if so, it's not working here!) Anyways, here is a sample output from diff on 2 sets of program output. The first is where DBM is used, and the second is where an in-memory hash is used. The second field of each line is the frequency of the occurance of the first field. The fourth field is the cumulative frequency. Everything adds up, but the DBM version is missing the 76 which had a key of "". Is there any way to get around this besides recoding the value? The only differences in the programs is the use of DBM. I have also included a diff output on the 2 perl scripts at the very bottom. TIA. --Jess
