Rewriting the links.def file
Hi,

I hope someone can help me with this problem.
I'm trying to rewrite the links.def file, and plan to use it as a Busniess listing.
I have changed all the fields, and also cleared all of the .db files in the data directory. But still i get an error message when accessing admin.cgi (Se below). The changes I've made is:

Code:
# -------------
# Links
# -------------
# Links Manager
#
# File: links.def
# Description: Contains the database definition for links.

($_ eq $db_key) and $db_key_pos = $db_def{$_}[0];
}

1;

The Error message i get is:

Error Message : fatal error: Can't modify constant item in scalar assignment at /web/vestby/cgi-bin/vestby/admin/links.def line 28, near "],"


I really hope someone can help me out with this problem.

I hope this helps.
