Perl: Unix - Windows
Trying to port a script over from unix to windows.
Got 99% of it done, but it trys to write to a .dat file using dbmopen.
When I run the script on my Linux box (Fedora Core 5) it works fine..
However when I run it on windows it doesnt.
This isnt the code, but produces the same results, so is a good test.
On linux, I get a .dat file, on windows I get a .dir and .pag iirc..
Any ideas for converting it / changing the code to work? Before I rewrite the whole script in vbscript.

Code:
use SDBM_File;
dbmopen(%DBM,"dw",0644) || die "dbmopen failed";
$DBM{"key1"} = "Test1";
$DBM{"key2"} = "Test2";
$DBM{"key3"} = "Test3";
while (($key,$value) = each(%DBM))
{
print "$key : $value\n";
}
dbmclose(%DBM);

You need to use strict, use warnings, and scope the the variables %DBM, $key
and $value for best practice. Strange you get a .dat on Linux, I get a .dir and .pag;
All looks to work here.

I've re-written it to do what I wanted, but pissed off..
the problem is I dont want the .dir and .pag but again I've sussed a way around it, the other thing is the shell script was also doing >blah.dat

If the shell script was redirecting STDOUT to a file, then all that file would contain would be whatever is in the print statements, no data at all.
If you don't want the data stored in .dir and .pag files, why are you using it?
