NDBM_File is a standard module included in the regular perl distribution (5.005_03 and earlier). NDBM_File cannot even be installed as a separate module like most other perl modules, it can only be installed as part of the regular perl distribution. (For example, you have to get perl-5.00503.tar.gz and install that (the full distribution) in order to get NDBM_File. So, the ONLY way to get NDBM_File on a Red Hat system is to actually reinstall the full perl distribution, by rebuilding everything... :-( Please include NDBM_File support in RedHat's perl module, as standard. This is of critical need for anyone who is using legacy perl code which might have previously used NDBM_File and then absolutely does not work with RedHat's 6.0 perl distribution because of the lack of NDBM_File support.

NDBM_File support is in perl-5.00503-6 and later from Red Hat 6.1. You may still see problems with db1 vs. db2 format in older database files.
