when i "use DB_File" the files produced lack a dot in their title, eg.

dbmopen %email, email.db, 0666;

manipulates a file who's directory entry is actually emaildb

MORE IMPORTANTLY, perl will not access a database outside of the same directory as the script -- it pulls a blank hash. without being able to include any functional path in the filenames, i can't even call the script with a soft link...i have to use a shell script to cd first

that is ridiculous and i presume a bug that may have been fixed somewhere?

perl 5.8.8 on fedora 7
