Currently I don't have the time to improve dbengine, but it should work
with 6.1 - unless the internal field specs have been changed...
However - for the future I definetely want to improve the tool, although I
didn't get any suggestions so far and therefore will have to stick with my
very own ideas.
I'd be glad if dbengine would become part of either a PostgesSQL
distribution or a related tools section in the directory tree.
CPAN - The official Perl related ftp servers are a really useful archive.
It might be a good idea to look at this as a template.
