Berkely Database

[Anon]

I have an older version berkely database that was created with perl's dbmopen command. There is a glitch whereby I can't open the damn thing anymore and was wondering if there was another convention that I could use in say php to take a look at the database. I don't even know how it is structured but is it possible to use dba_open to do so? If I can, ummm...how would I go about doing that?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I have no idea what version it is as it was the only database sitting on another host. All I know is that it was created in PERL with dbmopen and then written to from that point. I have no idea of the table format or anything. I would be dieing to know if there was some way I could open it with a dbase app somehow because my efforts to export it have not worked and my brief efforts with php4 have been unsuccessful. I wish I knew more about the version, my only reference that it is a berkely database format is looking through perl documentation and reading about the dbmopen command. I'm feeling hooped.
