I've been mucking about with hashes and dbm files for some time now and have finally reached the point where I've realised that multi-level hashes require the use of the MLDBM module (actually I found that out by searching the excellent list archives). Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the MLDBM module to work on my Mac. (It installs and runs fine under MkLinux.) I have installed the port of Data-Dumper-2.101 (copied Dumper.pm to site_perl:Data). But couldn't find any port of MLDBM-2.00. So I assumed it was a simple matter of sorting out line-breaks and copying MLDBM.pm to site_perl. I get the following error when I try to use MLDBM: # MLDBM.pm did not return a true value. File '<AppleEvent>'; Line 5 # BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. File '<AppleEvent>'; Line 5 Any ideas? -- My brain hurts!
