OT: (sort of) AuthDBMUserFile

AuthDBMUserFile

Is there a difference between DBM and GDBM?
I always thought they were the same...

I found sleepcat (DB) and GDBM, but where is DBM?

???

PMFFUTMOP:  But ...

I've determined that the AuthDBMUserFile error I had under Perl was my own
scripting cross-eyed fingers and wasn't even related to mod_perl, Apache,
nor reality as we know it :)

Sorry for the noise!  -Sneex-  :]

------------------------
perldoc GDBM_File:

DESCRIPTION
       GDBM_File is a module which allows Perl programs to make
       use of the facilities provided by the GNU gdbm library.
------------------------
perldoc DB_File:

NAME
       DB_File - Perl5 access to Berkeley DB version 1.x
------------------------

sleepycat == berkeley db (a product of sleepycat.com)

gdbm      == gnu dbm library

dbm       == a global name for all UNIX dbm implementations. This is the
name of the database type, like RDBMS or flat file are the names of the
relational DB implementations driven by SQL and simple text file
with line/record respectively...

But this should go to the perl newsgroup the best...
