A couple of possibilities. Have you installed the BerkeleyDB module? Check the REAME that came with it, but you usually have to perl Makefile.PL make make test make install to actually use the module. From the error message it appears that something will have to be compiled into a binary shared library. If that is not the problem and your code has something like this push @INC, '/cygdrive/c/cygwin/db-4.0.14/perl'; use BerkeleyDB; then you should realize that 'use' occurs during a separate pass from normal statement execution. Try use lib '/cygdrive/c/cygwin/db-4.0.14/perl'; use BerkeleyDB; instead. Adding the directory to $PERL5LIB before running perl is another possibility which avoids hardcoding directories into the Perl code. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
