using Mandrake 9.0 and didn't see the same problem you have
described I am using Perl v5.8.0 and Data-Dumper-2.101
that came with the Mandrake 9.0 distribution. I have been using
Mandrake 9.0 on my N6WS-6 node, and I didn't see the problem. I forgot to
mention, I'm running DXSpider v1.51 build 57.16. The install was made on
Nov 1, 2002, when the v9.0 became available here. I know this doesn't
address your specific problem, but I just wanted to let you know there is hope
that it will run on your Linux distribution.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Missing Problem on Mandrake 9.0 Install, Too...Same Fix?<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<P><FONT size=2>Hi,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>I am trying to get my system installed on a mandrake 9.0 version
of Linux, running with perl 5.8.0. I am getting the same problem relating to a
missing DB_File.pm file when I try to run the ./create_sysop.pl script. Can I
assume that my solution is the same as shown in this email thread => do a
force install of the Data::Dumper module, using the syntax shown,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>perl -MCPAN -e shell force install Data::Dumper</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>I DID not try to install this on the initial stages, because it
was not found at the link referenced in the installation page. Are there more
steps after force install, or does this completely and correctly install the
module?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Thanks,</FONT> </P>

<P><FONT size=2>This can be solved by using the CPAN installation method as

<P><FONT size=2>The only thing that is different is that you have to use the
force</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>install command, like:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>perl -MCPAN -e shell</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>force install Data::Dumper</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>The problem is that Data::Dumper refuses to pass one (innocent)

installed anyway, and has no</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>negative influence on the
