Hi, I've been trying to get DB_File to work today without overwhelming success. I started off trying to save my hashes to DB_File databases but it would crash periodically. So, I went out to CPAN and found Data::Dumper and MLDBM (MultiLevel DBM). After that didn't work (MLDBM uses DB_File), I discovered Chris Nandor's Mac version of Data::Dumper. Unfortunately, now MLDBM + Data::Dumper crashes right way. I'm using a PowerBook G3 with OS 8.1, MacPerl 5.2.0r4. Should I throw in the towl and go back to text files?
