It's a core feature of perl -- so if possible we should supply it. Why did Jarkko remove it? Merely because of the one test failure? I think the problem with ndbm is that he's using a FAT file system; gdbm's emulation of NDBM doesn't work on FAT -- but it's fine on NTFS. --Chuck > To be exact: NDBM_File & ODBM_File.
