Hello:

When I have this code on my UNIX machine w/ apache it prints out the info from the hash:

use DB_File;                     # optional; overrides default
tie %who, "DB_File", "$path/whosonline" or die "Can't open FILENAME: $
+!\n";        # open database, to be accessed  through %HASH
               # close the database
$rank = "0";
foreach $mename (keys %who){
if (-d "$free_path/$mename") {
$rank++;
print <<EOF;
<a href="http://www.teen-reality.com/members/$mename">$mename</a><b>*<
+/b>,
EOF
if ($rank eq "15") {
print <<EOF;
<a href="http://www.teen-reality.com/members/$mename">$mename<b>*</b><
+/a> ... <a href="http://www.teen-reality.com">more</>
EOF
last;
}
else { next; }
}
else { next; } 
}
untie %who;

But when I put this same exact code on my Windows Machine, it doesnt work.

Anyone know whats wrong? I've installed a DBM Module on the windows machine and could write to a DBM file.

Thank you,
Dave
