I don't really understand why Perl 5.8.7 lacked DB_File since Module::CoreList [1] reports it being standard sine 5.00307. Perhaps this is some sort of emasculated version that ships with Solaris :-)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ed]$ corelist DB_File DB_File was first released with perl 5.00307 It looks like the user tried to install DB_File without having the BerkeleyDB libraries from SleepyCat already installed. I had no idea that it would be a problem to assume the availability of a core Perl module...so thanks for your email. At any rate, I've toyed with the idea of making the next version of MARC::Charset optionally work entirely in memory...but haven't really pursued it since building up the EastAsian character mappings say in a CGI script would be pretty expensive... //Ed [1] http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-CoreList/
