Well, I commented out the DB_File stuff, wrote my own file save, and am able to store MD5 checksummed accounts. I suppose I could rewrite the scripts just to look at and append delimited text files, but I should understand what is going on. Does Perl 5.8.3 already come with the Berkeley DB...

HOW do I install this? Do I need to be in a particular shell? I am using a terminal emulator on my Windows PC, as...
