It has been suggested that a problem I am having with Perl's dbm-style tied hashes is related to the old version of Berkeley DB on my machine. So, I pulled in the latest version of DB and installed it. Sadly, Perl still seems to be using the old one. So, I looked to see how to remedy this and got rather perplexed. Here are the details: * I am running FreeBSD 4.1, in a fairly vanilla distribution. * perl -v says "This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd" * The latest version of Perl listed on www.freebsd.org is perl-5.00502! I _could_ go to /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl and try to do a make, but I'm more than a little afraid that I will break the Perl I have.
