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.

453Note that the BDB module also patches the C<$!> variable directly, so you
454should be able to get a bdb error string by simply stringifying C<$!>.
