Hi! First of all I thought this is a Perl problem, so I consulted the appripriate newsgroups. But people told me that this has to be a FreeBSD problem: I installed Perl 5.004 out of the ports section and am trying to create a NDBM database (read/write) which I wanna read under C afterwards. The problem: Perl creates it like `test.db´ (1 File) and C with #include <ndbm.h> expects it to be in 2 Files, like `test.pag´ and `test.dir´. People are telling me that I need re-install Perl so that both Perl and C will use the same system call. They claim that both NDBMs are for sure compatible! Please, I have FreeBSD 2.2.1, could anyone enlighten me? I am working on a bigger project with it (diploma thesis), and I am stuck in the middle. :( Thanks for ANY hint, Joachim -- Email: Joachim.Wunder@LRZ-Muenchen.DE
