Lacking your `tie` and other details it's hard to say, but at a guess, are you checking the DBM file via `strings` or some such? You may be seeing deleted records. Write a short script that checks the valid keys in the file, or just add this debugging line after the `delete`: `print "Users = @{[keys %who]}\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
