1. You need to install DB_File 2. If you specifically want to use Berkeley DB, then use DB_File, not AnyDBM_File. The latter is for use only when you aren't particular about what kind of database to use and are willing to accept anything that's found. Note also that there are other modules on CPAN for talking to Berkely DB that let you access the advanced features of that database. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
