Hello,

Was hoping some one may have some helpful suggestion as how to deal with the a
potiental problem. We have a dedicated server we would like to update perl on,
from v. 5.6.1 to 5.8.* and have found out the the existing .db files used by
alot of our customer with shopping carts that use DBM files to store various
data, the .db files will not work on 5.8.* version.

Is there a way to quickly convert the existing .db DBM files used by perl 5.6.1
so they will work if you upgrade perl to 5.8.1 without loosing all these .db
files... and causing all kinds of problems with our customers :(

Thx's
