Hi.<br />
I have a simple perl program and I´m using DBMfiles to store data. Well, here comes the problem. I made the program and run it on a Redhat platform, but when we changed to slakware there is another type of DBM files - *.dir and *.pag. Why? Can I still use the old *.db files from the redhat platform?<br />

DBM files and perl

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
