What DBD-XBase version is this? Could you attach example myfile.DBF2?
Things seem to work as expected on my machine with 1.05:
[root@30653a9ce2b6 /]# perl -MXBase -e 'my $newtable =
XBase->create(name => "myfile.DBF2",
field_names => [ "DESCRIPTION" ],
field_types => [ "C" ],
field_lengths => [ 40 ],
field_decimals => [ 0
]) or die $XBase::errstr;'
[root@30653a9ce2b6 /]# dbfdump.pl --info myfile.DBF2
Filename: myfile.DBF2.dbf
Version: 0x03 (ver. 3)
Num of records: 0
Header length: 65
Record length: 41
Last change: 2016/4/26
Num fields: 1
Field info:
Num Name Type Len Decimal
1. DESCRIPTION C 40 0
[root@30653a9ce2b6 /]# dbfdump.pl --info --SQL myfile.DBF2
create table myfile.DBF2 (
DESCRIPTION varchar(40)
)
