Probably GNU. I don't know what is OpenBSD policy toward 'G' programs. But gdbm is in ports. I don't understand why the binding was taken out of Perl. > > This particular Perl module is not in ports; you must likely can use > cpan to add it after installing dependencies, notably gdbm. I tried but it seems to use gdbm library linked into the perl and because on OpenBSD the perl binary is not linked and it complains about unresolved dependence. CL< > > Joachim
