OK. I've installed Berkeley DB on my machine, and I'm trying to use it
to see what happens. Just a note here: When I changed the above line in
Radius/SessDBM.pm, I got errors from radiator saying that it could not
tie using "AnyDBM_File.pm". I then discovered that in a number of places
in SessDBM.pm, "AnyDBM_File.pm" was hardcoded, instead of using the
$dbtype variable. Is this a bug?
I'm also including below the output from my system's perl -V. It seems
to indicate that threading if off, but perhaps you can confirm for me:
