I thought your question was about SDBM_File failing??
Update: how are you trying to convert your DB_File database
into an SDBM_File one? You can't just use the same file and
open it with a different module; they have drastically different formats. | [reply] |
I am not trying to convert the database, that can be rewritten on the new server. All I need to do is convert my script which worked with DB_File to work with something very similar. The scripted worked fine on my last host, but I can't use DB_File now so I'm looking to use a very similar database where all I change is the USE and the database tie. GDBM doesn't seem to work as with .db, maybe it needs a .gdbm? The documentation doesn't say a thing about it.

Again, what do you mean by "doesn't seem to work". What goes wrong? I don't think any of the modules are particular about what name to use.
