I do not have access to the module right now, but have a thought. Does Tie::SubstrHash use DB_File? DB_File is broken in some cases on MacPerl. I did a test case where I tried to write 100,000 keys, and I could retrieve only two. It is a disk issues. If I changed volumes, it worked fine. Anyway, look to see if DB_File is being used. I can try to look more into it at a later date. Not this weekend, though. Also, I think this kind of thing is inappropriate for perlbug until more is discovered ... it might not be a bug having anything to do with perl itself, or even MacPerl itself. -- Chris Nandor pudge@pobox.com http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network pudge@osdn.com http://osdn.com/ ==== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ==== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-modules-request@macperl.org
