you must use the same compare function every time you access the
database.
+=item 3
+
+Duplicate keys are entirely defined by the comparison function.
+In the case-insensitive example above, the keys: 'KEY' and 'key'
+would be considered duplicates, and assigning to the second one
+would overwrite the first. If duplicates are allowed for (with the
+R_DUP flag discussed below), only a single copy of duplicate keys
+is stored in the database --- so (again with example above) assigning
+three values to the keys: 'KEY', 'Key', and 'key' would leave just
+the first key: 'KEY' in the database with three values. For some
+situations this results in information loss, so care should be taken
+to provide fully qualified comparison functions when necessary.
+For example, the above comparison routine could be modified to
+additionally compare case-sensitively if two keys are equal in the
+case insensitive comparison:
+
+ sub compare {
+ my($key1, $key2) = @_;
+ lc $key1 cmp lc $key2 ||
+ $key1 cmp $key2;
+ }
+
+And now you will only have duplicates when the keys themselves
+are truly the same. (note: in versions of the db library prior to
+about November 1996, such duplicate keys were retained so it was
+possible to recover the original keys in sets of keys that
+compared as equal).

a DBM database it always writes the key and value as strings. So when
you use this:
- $hash{12345} = "soemthing" ;
+ $hash{12345} = "something" ;
the key 12345 will get stored in the DBM database as the 5 byte string
"12345". If you actually want the key to be stored in the DBM database
use strict ;

Running it produces the error in question:
the directory F<ext/DB_File>. Given the amount of time between releases
of Perl the version that ships with Perl is quite likely to be out of
date, so the most recent version can always be found on CPAN (see
-L<perlmod/CPAN> for details), in the directory
+L<perlmodlib/CPAN> for details), in the directory
F<modules/by-module/DB_File>.
This version of B<DB_File> will work with either version 1.x, 2.x or
3.x of Berkeley DB, but is limited to the functionality provided by
version 1.
