This will also create that port. I didn't know that DB_File is part of the Berkeley-DB distribution. So there are many ways to get at DB_File: * It is included in Perl itself. (Perhaps you have to install the db41 port first, and then the Perl port.) * perl -MCPAN -e shell * Do like you did. This is all quite confusing. Kai
