Hi, this is a reply to an older message. Question was, how to upgrade to perl5. Here is the answer from the perl5-base-package:
coma:/usr/src/packages# dpkg -i perl-5.005-base_5.005.03-4.deb (Reading database ... 53468 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking perl-5.005-base (from perl-5.005-base_5.005.03-4.deb) ... This version of Perl is using the newer Berkeley DB 2 files. They are incompatible with the Berkeley DB 1.85 files that you have (probably) been using. Please use perl-5.004 to work with these db's until you can convert them over. You can use Perl-5.004 to dump these databases and reload them with Perl-5.005. Or you can use db_dump185(1) and db_load(1) utilities that come with the libc6 package. Regards KD
