At that time this solved the problem and the following script could
open the .db file:
============================
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Fcntl;
use DB_File;
#use NDBM_File;
use DBI;
$dbfile = "/tmp/globaldb.db";
tie(%hash,"DB_File",$dbfile,O_RDONLY) || die "Cannot open $dbfile [$!]";
# do something with the database
untie %hash;
============================
Now, with the latest perl 5.8.4-2 on sarge this script fails to work
while it still works on woody.
This is a serious problem for us. With our limited perl knowledge we
do not know how to solve it.
