GDBM_File (the Win32 Port )

We successfully ported the GDBM_File perl extension to the Win32 Perl environment. This extension is based on the GDBM database library which we also ported.

The Win32 port of the GDBM_File extension is available at ftp://ftp.roth.net/pub/ntperl/gdbm_File/19990505/bin/
The source for the Win32 port of the GDBM_File extension is available at ftp://ftp.roth.net/pub/ntperl/gdbm_File/19990505/source/

This has not been tested on GDBM databases from systems other than Win32 so we are unaware of any problems with porting over the database. If you try to port database files from non Win32 systems, please let us know!

Note:
GDBM is not a cross platform library, so you may run in to problems if you create a database on one platform and try to access it on another. For example if you have a GDBM database created on an Alpha box it may not work if you copy it to an Intel machine. It is also possible that different OS's may cause incompatibility, for example if you created a GDBM database on a Solaris machine and copy it to a Win32 box.
