[MacPerl] DBM Not Found

[Scott Weaver <sweaver@bluenova.com>]

I have a script written in Perl4 that uses
dbmopen & dbmclose. I moved it to a new machine
and now it does not work. I am running Perl 5.1.3r2
under MacOS 7.6.1. I had to make a couple of minor
changes when I moved the script because some of the
file paths changed.

The script checks OK for syntax and runs fine
when I open it and use "Run Script.." within
MacPerl. I have it saved as a runtime app.
When I double click on the runtime app or when
it is started by my scheduling software (the real
way I want it to be run), I get a message in the
MacPerl window: "# No dbm found on this machine.."

I am confused as to why it would work from within
MacPerl but not as a runtime app. Can anyone help
out with any ideas?

Do I need to rewrite the dbmopen/dbmclose lines
in Perl5 tie:... commands? Do I need to add a
"use" statement if I stay with the dbmopen syntax?

Any and all help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott Weaver
