As chomatic states, perlport might turn something up. A little more information might help, though. "Doesn't work" is fairly general -- for what value of "doesn't work"? Also, what version of perl -- and is it the same on both machines? The dbmclose looks vaguely suspect to me, as that construct is depreciated in all current perls.
Update: FYI, the following code works fine for me under ActivePerl 5.6:
use DB_File;
tie %add, "DB_File", "foo.db" or die "Can't open FILENAME: $!\n";
$add{time} = time;
untie %add;
Adding the dbmclose doesn't change it, either. Because you didn't use dbmopen to open the database, it isn't needed. Nor should it ever be, because tie has replaced it. ;>

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
