It may be the version of Perl you're using. I used the following
code on one system and it worked fine. However, when I tried using it on
another system it didn't. At first I thought it might have been due to
different versions of Exim or C Compiler used to build Exim. I eventually
noticed that the system which it worked on had Perl 5.003 whereas the other
had Perl 5.001
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
$dbcode=dbmopen(%DB,'aliases',0644);
printf("DB Open code= %d\n",$dbcode);
while ($key,$val) = each %DB){
printf("%s %s\n",$key,$val);
}
