I'd been thinking the same thing but trying to avoid it, RC3 was my final try but it's not enough, and couldn't reliably deal with all cases without lots of extra work. The interface DBD::DBM is using is identical for all DBM's so if it works for one it should work for all. So just testing SDBM_File (supplied with perl) should suffice, along with MLDBM using Data::Dumper/Storable on top. I'll roll an RC4 to put this issue to bed. Finally. Hopefully. Tim.
