     recursively.

   * pasing undef for the flags and/or mode when opening a database could cause

   * added documentation patch regarding duplicate keys from Andrew Johnson

     this approach.

   * Fixed perl core patch 7703

   * Added suppport to allow DB_File to be built with Berkeley DB 3.2 --
     btree_compare, btree_prefix and hash_cb needed to be changed.

   * Updated dbinfo to support Berkeley DB 3.2 file format changes.


1.74 10th December 2000

   * A "close" call in DB_File.xs needed parenthesised to stop win32 from
     thinking it was one of its macros.

   * Updated dbinfo to support Berkeley DB 3.1 file format changes.

   * DB_File.pm & the test hasness now use the warnings pragma (when
     available).

     for Berkeley DB 3.x

   * Included Perl core patch 7801 -- Give __getBerkeleyDBInfo the ANSI C
     treatment.

     harness has been updated to reflect this.

1.72 16th January 2000

   * Added hints/sco.pl

   * The module will now use XSLoader when it is available. When it
     isn't it will use DynaLoader.

   * The locking section in DB_File.pm has been discredited. Many thanks
     to David Harris for spotting the underlying problem, contributing
     the updates to the documentation and writing DB_File::Lock (available
     on CPAN).

1.71 7th September 1999

   * Fixed a bug that prevented 1.70 from compiling under win32
