Hello:

I have a windows and a unix machine. The following code works on UNIX but not Windows. Any idea why? and what I could fix to make it work? Also can you give me any refference for where to learn about the diffrentiallity between programming PERL on the twho machines. 

############ADD MEMBER FOR HOME.CGI
sub addmember {
$timerss = time;
use DB_File;                     # optional; overrides default
tie %add, "DB_File", "" or die "Can't open FILENAME: $!\n";        # o
+pen database  tie hash to db
   #account-keys  time-values
$add{$account} = "$timerss"; #REFRESH TIME
untie %add;
dbmclose %add;

&whosonline;

}
