Re^3: Perlfect aborted when loading DB

Note: It's "DB_File"--not "DB_file". As Corion said, DB_File is part of the core since the beginning of perl5. It's also dualLived, so it can be updated.

I can't find anything essentially wrong with DB_File nor search.pl; however, the README in the source emphatically says to use ssh/telnet. HTTP can lead to breaches of security and "should be used only when absolutely necessary".

Re^4: Perlfect aborted when loading DB_file.pm by blackcode (Novice) on Dec 27, 2009 at 08:50 UTC
`# perl -MDB_File -e1` gave me an empty result back. And installation was `perl Makefile.pl make make test make install` [download] which installed without errors. Also, tes via ssh, i get it perfectly well, both indexer.pl & search.pl. I am only trying to get search.pl in cgi-bin dir worked so people could search via http. Thank you all alot for your help!

This is weird, because your error message says that `DB_File.pm` contains a syntax error. Maybe the Perl that is run by your webserver to run your script is a different Perl than the one you get through `ssh`. I suggest removing all other code from your `search.pl` (or better, creating a new file) that only has the lines `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser'; use DB_File; print "DB_File is OK\r\n";` [download] in it, to see whether DB_File on itself loads OK.
