I still can't use the dbm stuff effectively with PL 28, due to the same
problems other people have mentioned. (I.E. some parts of binding
associative arrays to dbm files works, but others don't.) Has anyone fixed
this and have a patch I can apply? (Preferably an OFFICIAL patch, but I'd be
willing to do it and then reverse it when Larry fixes it.)

Thanks.

P.S. I'm running Perl PL 28 on a Sequent Balance running Dynix 3.0.17.9. I
also want to compile it onto our Sparcstation 1's and a Vaxstation 3100, but
haven't gotten around to that yet.
