Ken,
Thanks for your reply. It does makes sense, eventhough I'm new to perl modules and
their
implementation.
BTW, do you know what that file would be named? I installed it under perl 5.6.0, but
when I try
to install it under 5.6.1 I get the error (which seems to be a linker error)
"/usr/bin/ld:
cannot find -ldb".
A bit of research lead me to some mention of needing a libdb2 version, but I haven't
gotten to
deep into it yet and am hoping that I can use my previous installation of DB_File
(under 5.6.0)
for now.
Cheers,
James
