in reply to Script Stopped Working

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that your host provider upgraded the Perl they are using from Perl 5.6.1 to Perl 5.8.x and NDBM_File wasn't recompiled. It's a little odd, seeing as NDBM_File is part of the core distribution, but I'd start checking in that direction.

You and the author are both right - it seems to be the host provider's fault.

    NDBM_File is not part of the core distribution.

    The dbm that ships with Perl is SDBM_File.
