There was a time when Perl would not let you select anything "after the fact" that was in the core distro. Once it had decided that GDBM wasn't available, you simply couldn't use it, even if you tried to take the portion of the distro for GDBM and manually compile/install it later. You had to re-./configure and build the entire distro again. That may have been fixed, but I'm still suspicious. -- Randal L.
