Can anyone tell me how I can read the source-navigator databases from
perl?

Thanks,

Thanks. I was using the C db API - but found this inconvenient
(multi-platform). I am now using a system call from perl to dbdump. This
is at least a little better. Please keep me posted if you build a perl
module to read the db. (I probably should be using the tcl db api, but I
find tcl very cumbersome next to perl...).

Hello Celia


I have been reading the SN database externally, but not
with perl. I previously did some hacking using dbdump,
which is distributed with SN. At present I am trying to
build a PHP extension module to read the database.

Apparently you can also access the database using tcl;
SN is mostly written in TCL.

The database format is berkeley DB 1.85 (a very old format)
which can be found at http://www.sleepycat.com/ .

Perhaps you could build the static database library, link
it into a shared library, then access it using perl.


Regards
David Robinson
