Hello Luck, 1. The simplest way is trial/error: copy the following program: #! /usr/bin/perl -w use DB_File; tie %memreceive, "DB_File", ".arq_memreceive.dbm" or die "Can't open .arq_memreceive:$!\n"; untie %memreceive; print "ok...\n"; #--------%<-------------- Call this test.pl and do (in ~/mail): rein@dopey:~/mail$ chmod +x test.pl rein@dopey:~/mail$ ./test.pl ok... If not ok the program will issue an error (Cannot find DB_File in @INC). 2. There is also a possibility that arq.pm is not present? It is the underlying library for psk_arq.pl. 3. Are the priorities of the ~/mail directory set properly? The tie tries to get read/write access to the file. Hope this helps, 73, Rein PA0R On Sat, 2006-08-26 at 17:34 -0500, Luck wrote: > Rein: > > Thanks for the prompt reply. > > 1.
