[Mapserver-users] Can't locate object method "TIEHASH"

[Agneta Schick]

Hello mapserver-users,

I've searched the mail archive and found 2 messages on this topic,
both were, however, unanswered.

So I'll try again...

Platform:
	MapServer 4.0.1
	solaris 9
	Perl 5.8.3

I want to test an application querying shape files.
My perl mapscript code
...
  $layer->queryByPoint($tmp_map,$pnt,$mapscript::MS_SINGLE,1000);
  my $res = $layer->getResult(0);
  $layer->open();
  my $shape=new mapscript::shapeObj($layer->{type});
  my $shape_index = $layer->getShape($shape,-1,$res->{shapeindex});
  my $table = 
mapscript::msDBFOpen("/space/b3sn13/webdb/htdocs/ermos/data/usgs.dbf","r+");
....
is terminated with 
Can't locate object method "TIEHASH" via package "_DBFHandle".

Is this a mapscript problem or is something missing in the installation?

(I tried the same perl script on solaris 8, mapserver 3.6.5, perl 5.6
and got the same error).

Thanks,
Agneta Schick
