Yet Another YAPC::NA 2005 Conference Reminder
---------------------------------------------

YAPC::NA 2005 is Yet Another Perl Conference, North America,
this year to be held in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada,
Mon - Wed 27 - 29 June 2005.

     Important Dates/Deadlines
     -------------------------
     April 18 -- deadline for paper submissions
     May 12   -- last day of guaranteed accommodations

YAPC::NA is a grassroots, all-volunteer conference.  The
speaker quality is high, the participants lively, and there
are many extra social activities scheduled.  We expect a
bit over 400 people this year, and registration is proceeding
faster this year than in the past.

The registration cost is USD$85.  Information on registration:

Want to be a speaker?  Deadline for proposal submission
is April 18, just over 1 week from now.  Go to:
     http://yapc.org/America/cfp-2005.shtml

Need accommodations in Toronto?  Go to:

     http://yapc.org/America/accommodations-2005.shtml

If you book before May 13 you will be guaranteed a hotel
space.  After that getting accommodations will become
progressively more difficult.  Prices we have arranged
are in two different price ranges: approximately US$50
for a dorm room, US$72 for a decent hotel room.  All
accommodations are very nearby the conference venue.

Foundation, http://www.perlfoundation.org/
We look forward to seeing you in Toronto!

Subject: [Dub-pm] DBM behaviour
Message-ID: <56544.194.69.198.226.1114679746.squirrel@194.69.198.226>

Hiyas,

I've got a question about DBM behaviour on Debian Stable (pinned to testing)

perl, v5.8.4 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

I'm using (read borrowing, with permission ;>) a script that expects DMB
files with a .db extensions when reading in existing files, however when I
create files, I get two files - with .dir and .pag extensions

Is there any way to modify this behaviour?  Or do I need to go modifying
the script to take into account the new behaviour?

Andrew

Are you using dbmopen? If so then you you are probably using the
default dbm system which tends not to be Berkeley. In your case it's
NDBM or something else which stores the database in 2 files. From the
bottom of the dbmopen part of the perlfunc manpage

               See also AnyDBM_File for a more general description of the
               pros and cons of the various dbm approaches, as well as
               DB_File for a particularly rich implementation.

               You can control which DBM library you use by loading that
               library before you call dbmopen():

                   use DB_File;
                   dbmopen(%NS_Hist, "$ENV{HOME}/.netscape/history.db")
                       or die "Can<E2><80><99>t open netscape history file: $!";

so a "use DB_File;" will probably fix your problem (or you could
recompile perl to use Berkelely DB as it's default)
