[ale] Break the current thread with a perl question

[John.Armsby at motorola.com (Armsby John-G16665)]

I have a nice little utility which writes a hash to a dbm file (mandrake 8.0) using NDBM_File.  The key/values byte size can be  quite large.  The keys are three characters and the value may include 60, 000 charactes.  Linux and NDBM_File have no issues.

I need to port the thing to HPUX.  The good news is it runs fine.  The bad news is it errors out (too many bytes in the value) and stops dead.  I have experimented with SDBM_File on NT and get the identical error.  The documentation tells me to expect it.  Is there any HPUX DBM solution out there?  I don't know the pedigree of NDBM_File on the HPUX box other than the the perl version is 5.003.

Any DBM/hash guys out there?

John
