We have a situation that we need to open a dbm-file but cannot do so
using perl version 5.8.4-2 on Debian Sarge. The following script
fails, but the same script and dbm-file works on Woody with perl 5.6:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Fcntl;
use DB_File;
#use NDBM_File;
use DBI;
$dbfile = "/tmp/globaldb.db";
tie(%hash,"DB_File",$dbfile,O_RDONLY) || die "Cannot open $dbfile [$!]";
untie %hash;
Is there a way to read that file with perl 5.8?
Regards
Johann
