the Perl DB_File module is based upon the Berkeley DB libs. There have been issues with some versions of Berkeley DB libs, sometimes with locking. Check to see if there are updates to the Berkeley DB libs for your distro, if so install them, check for updates to DB_File module then reinstall DB_File module. -- Dave Funk University of Iowa <dbfunk (at) engineering.uiowa.edu> College of Engineering 319/335-5751 FAX: 319/384-0549 1256 Seamans Center Sys_admin/Postmaster/cell_admin Iowa City, IA 52242-1527 #include <std_disclaimer.h> Better is not better, 'standard' is better.
