Please use the convert_185_2xx function to convert the cache index to the new db format (see manpage). ok 1 Can't tie . Maybe you are using version 2.x.x of the Berkeley DB library? If your cache directory is in a non-standard location, start test.pl manually with perl -Mblib test.pl /path/to/my/cachedir This will not help if your berkeley db version is 2.x.x. If so, read the documentation for workarounds. ok 2 # skip ok 3 # skip ok, 2/3 skipped: unknown reason All tests successful, 2 subtests skipped.
