cygwin, gdbm and perl

[Charles Wilson]

Yes, but is the *perl* package, GDBM_File:: installed? (or NDBM_File::
or ODBM_File::  -- whatever, I forgot the name).  Also, if you search
the archives over the past two weeks, you'll find a very detailed
explanation (from me) concerning difficulties with gdbm/ndbm and perl
and FAT partitions.
