Make sure that DB_File is installed and working properly, you should be able
to use the following code in order to verify DB_File.
use DB_File ;
tie(%test,DB_File,"barf.dbf", O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0777, $DB_HASH) || die ;
$test{"testkey"} = "testvalue" ;
You also have to "use" DB_File before you "use" MLDBM, otherwise you will
receive very cryptic error messages that won't give you a clue.
