Re: ANNOUNCE: DBI 1.42 release candidate 2 for testing

[Jeff Zucker]

Argh :-(.  On Debian with perl 5.8.3 as set up by my ISP, the new regex 
in 50dbm.t removes the legitimate directories where the modules are 
stored and skips 50dbm.t with the message "No DBM modules available". 
Once I commented out the regex, all tests passed for all 6 DBM types.

My @INC shows /usr/lib/perl/5.8 but that is a symlink to 
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.3 and the DBM modules (except the ones I installed in 
my own dirs) are in /usr/lib/perl/5.8.3/auto.

Maybe time to test only SDBM_File?
