Subject: cannot load db_file objects
I initiate a CGI:Session object like this: CGI::Session->new("driver:db_file", $r, {FileName=>'sessions/sess.db'}); Perl: This is perl, v5.8.6 built for i386-freebsd-64int If using version 4.10 or later, it can create new sess.db without glitch. However, to use the same file it created to load data fails with the following error message: new(): failed: load(): couldn't retrieve data: _tie_db_file(): couldn't tie 'sess.db' replicates evey time for 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12 .. temporary fix is to downgrade to 4.09

ok, I did some more research. the NO_FOLLOW fix that came in 4.10 is causing the problem commenting out the following line in db_file.pm also fixes the problem: $o_mode |= $NO_FOLLOW; This must be an architecture specific issue. There are no symlinks occuring here. On Mon Apr 10 00:22:59 2006, guest wrote: Show quoted text

one final update $NO_FOLLOW = eval { O_NOFOLLOW } || 0; above, $NO_FOLLOW = 256
