You might have better luck on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, despite its name, advanced topics are discussed as well. I know there are several of us on both lists, but some of the gurus there may not read this one.

I wonder if starting over from the beginning with your local install of MLDBM might help, I realize that is a pain, but sometimes starting over is the only way, and seeing how things aren't working currently couldn't hurt right?

Since loading MLDBM-2.01, non-root, on an Apache
		Cobalt Linux release 5.0 (Pacifica)
		Kernel 2.2.16C27_III on an i586  running Perl 5.005_03
a few weeks ago, I've experienced inconsistent difficulties with   use MLDBM
and   use Storable.
Storable was in place before MLDBM-2.01 was loaded.


A 2-line script:

    use lib
'/users/esickafus/tmp/MLDBM-2.01/blib/lib/lib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Seri
alizer';
    use MLDBM qw(DB_File Storable);

does not compile:  "Can't locate MLDBM.pm in @INC"
even though 3 copies of MLDBM.pm exist.


So, I removed/reinstalled  Storable-2.05 non-root. Installation failed. The
log follows below.

I have seen this before, but not sure how I fixed/got around it. It was with the IO::Tty,IO::Pty modules, they were pre-existing on the system and it seemed no matter how loud I yelled at CPAN it didn't seem to use my install location configuration.

 Makefile.PL produced:
	Warning: prerequisite Test::More 0.41 not found at (eval 1) line 220.
	'' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

 make had no warnings.

 make test produced: t/downgrade.........Can't locate Test/More.pm in @INC
(and more, see below)

Do you have Test::More installed?  Version?

 make install produced: Warning: You do not have permissions to install into
  /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 61.
