Okay, I got DB_File installed using PPM. That worked great. Now without any file there, it creates the "filename.db" file and manipulates it fine. But when I copy my original "filename.db" file into it's place ... the one that was actually created on a Linux machine, it tells me it cannot open the file.

I've FTP'd it using both BINARY and ASCII, and both give me the same error.

I've messed with the file permissions and the file it is giving me an error on has the exact same permissions as the file it created successfully, so it cannot be a permission problem.

Is there a potential disconnect with the Linux created file and the windows perl module? Can the Windows Perl module DB_File open a file that was created on a Linux machine?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Maybe it's worth asking a new question, referring to this one? I don't know how much attention this post is going to get compared to a new thread.
