Re^4: Perlfect aborted when loading DB

# 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! Regards, John

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.
