Ok, resolved! It was a memory issue. I am running the CGI under the
fnord HTTP server and allocating memory limitations using Dan
Bernstein's softlimit - had to raise it thus:

exec softlimit -m 6500000 \
tcpserver -DPHRv -c $CONN -l 0 $ADDR $PORT \
setuidgid $USER /usr/local/bin/fnord 2>&1

I might have resolved this - an environment issue. Will post again with
conclusion.

Hi there

I'm using the Perl module BerkeleyDB for DB access from within a CGI
script. The errors are included below. Any pointers/help would be
appreciated.

Versions:

Linux Kernel 2.6.9
Perl 5.8.4
BerkeleyDB Perl Module 0.26
Berkeley DB 4.3.27
Kernel Headers for 2.4.29

Errors:

Can't load
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i486-linux/auto/BerkeleyDB/BerkeleyDB.so'
for module BerkeleyDB: libdb-4.3.so: failed to map segment from shared
object: Cannot allocate memory at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/i486-linux/XSLoader.pm line 68.
at ./index.cgi line 28

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i486-linux/BerkeleyDB.pm line 1649.
END failed--call queue aborted at ./index.cgi line 28.

Line 28 in index.cgi is:

use BerkeleyDB;

Thanks
