Johann,
I have had the same problem. Check, I bet the versions of Berkley DB are different.

We have a situation that we need to open a dbm-file but cannot do so using perl version 5.8.4-2 on Debian Sarge. The following script fails, but the same script and dbm-file works on Woody with perl 5.6:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Fcntl; use DB_File; #use NDBM_File; use DBI;
$dbfile = "/tmp/globaldb.db";
tie(%hash,"DB_File",$dbfile,O_RDONLY) || die "Cannot open $dbfile [$!]";
untie %hash;
Is there a way to read that file with perl 5.8?
Regards Johann
We ran accross the same problem, and found this utility db file that will usually correct the problem with older .db files. Locate this file, which requires root access I believe, filename: db_upgrade
then from the command line execute:
db_upgrade /server_path/to/filename.db
should do the trick :)
