i created mldbm(DB_File,Data::Dumper) on windows-2000 platform. i dont have any problem to read that DB from sun station but i couldnt read it from linux station.
and vice-versa(produce on linux couldnt read from sun station. also produce on sun couldnt read it from linux):

here is the code portion i used to connect tothe MLDM db: 

use DB_File;
use Data::Dumper;


use MLDBM qw(DB_File Data::Dumper); 

$dbPath = "x.dat"    
tie %db, 'MLDBM', $dbPath, O_RDONLY, 0640 or die $!;

[download]
and here is the error code ive got: 
MLDBM error: Second level tie failed, "" at mldbm2.pl line 10

[download]

is that the situation that MLDBM not portable across (windows,sun) and linux or did ive done something wrong?
