    Hi guys,

    hopefully somebody will have a clue on how to solve this in a NICE
    way.

    Here goes :

    I have 2 versions of the same perl module. Now what that module
    exactly does is somewhat irrelevant to my question, but if u must know
    this module is a DBM module. Ok so you got it: i basically have a
    database in one format and i want to switch to the upgraded format.
    Unfortunately the module which handles that new format is the next
    version of the module that handles the old format ... talk of a
    headache !

    Now my problem is that - obviously ??? - i cannot get perl to load the
    same module twice in a single interpreter. Renaming the old or new
    module is NOT an option since i have a whole set of libraries which
    depend on that one module. Of course i can use a third - intermediary
    + standard - database format to move from my old format to my new
    format in a 2 steps (export then import) fashion.

    But i wish i could find a way of dealing with 2 versions of the same
    module in the same perl program :-P

    Any help on this would be very much appreciated ...

    cheers,

    Yves.
