hello all,

a want to configure the AnyDBM_File to use a certain db lookup scheme, just like in the POD:

BEGIN { @AnyDBM_File::ISA = qw(DB_File GDBM_File NDBM_File ODBM_File) 
+}

[download]

could I put this snippet of code in a CONFIG.pm module (or any module that has my configurations for the program) and then call both the CONFIG.pm and the ANYDB_File module in a program, like this:

 
use CONFIG; 
use AnyDBM_File;

[download]

and have it do what i want it to do, which is have the AnyDBM_File obey what's in the CONFIG file?

If not, is there a way? This is for a CGI program I release, so I never know what kind of DB thingy they got going on, but I want users to change what db package is used.
