Some time ago I was trying to install libwww-perl-5.61 under __W98__ with no
success.
The installation process wouldn't pass the 'robot' tests. I finally was able
to trace the problem to the 'tie' :

/home/arkadig/tmp$ vdir delme*
vdir: delme*: No such file or directory
/home/arkadig/tmp$ perl -e 'use  Fcntl;use  AnyDBM_File;tie %t1,
q(AnyDBM_File), ($_=q(/home/arkadig/tmp/delme)), O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0640  or
Carp::croak("$_: $!");'
/home/arkadig/tmp/delme: Permission denied at -e line 1
/home/arkadig/tmp$ vdir ./delme*
-rw-r--r--    1 arkadig  unknown      3072 Nov 30 06:21 ./delme.pag
/home/arkadig/tmp$ rm ./delme*


By default NDBM_File is used. Force 'tie' to use SDBM_File:





/home/arkadig/tmp$ perl -e 'BEGIN { @AnyDBM_File::ISA = qw(SDBM_File) };use
Fcntl;use  AnyDBM_File;tie %t1, q(AnyDBM_File),
($_=q(/home/arkadig/tmp/delme)), O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0640  or Carp::croak("$_:
$!");'
/home/arkadig/tmp$ vdir ./delme*
-rw-r--r--    1 arkadig  unknown         0 Nov 30 06:22 ./delme.dir
-rw-r--r--    1 arkadig  unknown         0 Nov 30 06:22 ./delme.pag


Thus the work-around for the installation problem is to insert

BEGIN { @AnyDBM_File::ISA = qw(SDBM_File) };

at the beginning of RobotRules/AnyDBM_File.pm
