I have to guess here, as it is too long ago to be sure, and trouble hit the fan at a customer site with less resources than where they had tested the script (which had to run a long analysis on two databases that took close to 30 hours, which makes it obvious why data corruption after 20+ hours is not an option.

I started Tie::Hash::DBD in August 2010, which makes me assume we ran perl-5.10.1/64all on HP-UX 11.11 (at the customer site) with DB_File-1.020 targetting libdb-4.2.52 (after which I stopped upgrading, as Oracle made it close to impossible to port).

Is that what you wanted to know?


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
