Further late breaking news related to DBD::DBM and drivers based
on DBD::File:

DBD::AnyData, DBD::RAM, or other modules which subclass DBD::File
may experience problems after installing the DBD::File in DBI 1.42.
The fix is to install the newest CPAN versions of those modules.
If you discover any other module that has problems with the latest
DBD::File, please email [email protected].

The per-table settings using $dbh->{dbm_tables} in DBD::DBM are broken
and will be fixed in the next release in a few weeks.  In the meantime,
if you want to access several tables with different DBM settings, use a
new $dbh handle for each table and make the settings in the connection
string.
