>>"0666" is a different thing than 0666.

ok, my bad... but changed that, no difference ;(

>> What is "DB_HASH"

i haven't a clue, i got this code out of the new Perl DBI book. the code i gave seems to write the file alright. (it writes two files, one a .dir one a .pag, apparently i don't have DB_File.

>> Why are you using AnyDBM_File?

heres the funky chicken, i don't have DB_File, (or can't see it...) i also don't have: NDBM_File, GDBM_File SDBM_File , or ODBM_File. but i do have AnyDBM_File and somehow it works. oi

i'm on concentric btw, they got this whacky VDE thingy that i loathe..
