Well, I think I have discovered "why". These are the steps I have followed:
- The files I'm trying to open with "dbmopen/tie" have already data inside, but this info hasn't been generated in the server where I'm getting the error.
- These files ".dir" and ".pag" where copied from a workstation to a server via ftp, because they contain useful info to keep
- In the workstation (where these files where created and updated), with the same code as in the server, these files are opened and closed without problems.
- But after doing the ftp (with the same lenght in both machines), the files transferred to the server are unreadable when I try to use a "dbmopen" or "tie" with them.
- However, if I generate a perl script which creates and reads the content of ".dir" and ".pag" files, it runs ok.
- So, without all these ".dir", ".pag" files which already contains info, all the cgi's are shown ok.


I have analize deeply this situation in both machines, and here are the results:
* Server (SunOS 5.10 - Spanish, Perl 5.8.4) --> The "dir/pag" files created in the workstation, doesn't work here
* Workstation 1 (SunOS 5.8 - English, Perl 5.8.7) --> The "dir/pag" files created in the server, doesn't work here

I also have checked the "dir/pag" files into other workstation:
* Workstation 2 (SunOS 5.8 - English, Perl 5.8.6) --> The "dir/pag" files created in the server, doesn't work here; however, the files from Workstation 1, works fine.

I'm afraid this could be a problem from the OS, what do you think?
