Johann,

I have had the same problem. Check, I bet the versions of Berkley DB are different.

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
