Ticket #18111 (closed defect: fixed)
perl5.8 @5.8.9, Revision 2 does not install DB_File.pm

Description
I downloaded MacPorts 1.7 and installed on a fresh Leopard install. I installed ikiwiki and all dependencies. I force-activated all p5-* ports that tried to install files that conflicted with the perl5.8 port. However, even after I deactivated and force-activated perl5.8 to overwrite p5-* files, DB_File.pm was nowhere to be found inside /opt/local.
The perl5.8 distfile tar clearly has DB_File.pm inside of it. Is it just not getting built and installed?

There are two variants of perl5.8 (db and gdbm).
I think the db variant results in DB_File.pm being installed.
Please let me know if this works.

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to fixed
Indicated on the mailing list that the db variant solved the problem.
Good to hear.
The use of MacPorts Berkeley Data Base is new in r44874.
Previously, perl relied on the system libraries to produce DB_File.pm.
Also noted on the -dev mailing list, but no apparent solution.
