Re: AnyDBM_File::exists broken under HP-UX?

AnyDBM_File doesn't actually do anything - it's an interface to other DBM modules. You need to have one of those installed. Do you?

My criteria for good software:

Does it work?
Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

Makes sense. I see that neither NDBM_File nor DB_File are installed on the HP-UX hosts. From there, I'm willing to assume that none of the others are, either. Looks like this is going to spin off yet another project, as attempting to install DB_File failed on account of not having gcc available... Time to see whether it would be easier to make CPAN work with a plain ANSI cc or to convince TPTB to authorize installing gcc. What fun.	[reply]
