Hello fellow monks. All day I've been trying to figure out a problem I'm having with dbm on my Windows machine. I run the following code and instead of 10001, I get 1212. On the Linux servers I tested it on, it works like a charm. Is this a bug in DBM or something? Below is a test case of what has been causing me grief. If anyone can tell me a way around it, I would be extemely grateful! Thanks!

P.S. For further info on what I've done to test this, please /msg me in the CB. Thanks! 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my %PL;
dbmopen(%PL, "pl", 0777) || die "Can't create DBM: $!";
my $count = 0;
while ($count <= 10000) {
    $PL{$count} = "$count";
    $count++;
}
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print scalar(keys %PL), '/', $count, "\n";
dbmclose(%PL);
