Hi,

I have some Berkeley DB files which were created with Storable 2.15 on Solaris 8 using 64 bit perl. I am trying to port these files to Redhat 4 (again using perl 64bit), but on running the script, I get an error message which states: 

Byte order is not compatible at blib/lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into b
+lib/lib/auto/Storable/thaw.al) line 366, at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/
+5.8.5/MLDBM/Serializer/Storable.pm line 27

[download]

I have tried setting $Storable::interwork_56_64bit=1 to no avail, but I think that fix is for an older version of the Storable module.

Should these Berkeley DB files be portable to other platforms, or do I need to try something else?!

Thanks for any help.
