138=head2 WIN32 FILENAMES/DATABASE NAME MESS
139
140Perl on Win32 supports only ASCII filenames (the reason is that it abuses
141an internal flag to store wether a filename is Unicode or ANSI, but that
142flag is used for somethign else in the perl core, so there is no way to
143detect wether a filename is ANSI or Unicode-encoded). The BDB module
144tries to work around this issue by assuming that the filename is an ANSI
145filename and BDB was built for unicode support.

555as the request callback, and the second is called to wait until the first 618as the request callback (it should save the return status), and the second
619is called to wait until the first callback has been called (it must set
620C<$!> to the return status).

622This mechanism can be used to include BDB into other event mechanisms,
623such as L<AnyEvent::BDB> or L<Coro::BDB>.

557 626
558 sub { 627 sub {
559 my $status; 628 my $status;
560 ( 629 (
561 sub { $status = $! }, 630 sub { $status = $! },
562 sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status }, 631 sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status },
563 ) 632 )
564 } 633 }
634
635It simply blocks the process till the request has finished and then sets
636C<$!> to the return value. This means that if you don't use a callback,
637BDB will simply fall back to synchronous operations.
