 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 See the BerkeleyDB documentation (L<http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/index.html>).
 The BDB API is very similar to the C API (the translation has been very faithful).

 =head2 BERKELEYDB FUNCTIONS
 All of these are functions. The create functions simply return a new
 object and never block. All the remaining functions all take an optional
-callback as last argument. If it is missing, then the fucntion will be
+callback as last argument. If it is missing, then the function will be
-executed synchronously.
+executed synchronously. In both cases, C<$!> will reflect the return value
+of the function.
 BDB functions that cannot block (mostly functions that manipulate
 settings) are method calls on the relevant objects, so the rule of thumb
 is: if its a method, its not blocking, if its a function, it takes a
 callback as last argument.

 =item $fileno = BDB::poll_fileno
 Return the I<request result pipe file descriptor>. This filehandle must be
 polled for reading by some mechanism outside this module (e.g. Event or
 select, see below or the SYNOPSIS). If the pipe becomes readable you have
 interactiveness when perl is not fast enough to process all requests in
 time.
 For interactive programs, values such as C<0.01> to C<0.1> should be fine.

+BDB starts threads only on demand, when an BDB request is queued and
 no free thread exists. Please note that queueing up a hundred requests can
 create demand for a hundred threads, even if it turns out that everything
 is in the cache and could have been processed faster by a single thread.
 It is recommended to keep the number of threads relatively low, as some
 Under most circumstances you don't need to call this function, as the
 module selects a default that is suitable for low to moderate load.

+Sets the maximum number of BDB threads to C<$nthreads>. If more than the
 specified number of threads are currently running, this function kills
 them. This function blocks until the limit is reached.
 While C<$nthreads> are zero, aio requests get queued but not executed
 until the number of threads has been increased again.
 =head2 FORK BEHAVIOUR
 This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks:
-Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests
+Before the fork, BDB enters a quiescent state where no requests
 can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After
 the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues
 request/result processing, while the child frees the request/result queue
 (so that the requests started before the fork will only be handled in the
 parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit set in the
 parent process has been reached again.
 In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
-not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used
+not been called, while the child will act as if BDB has not been used
 yet.
+Win32 note: there is no fork on win32, and perls emulation of it is too
+broken to be supported, so do not use BDB in a windows pseudo-fork, better
+yet, switch to a more capable platform.
 =head2 MEMORY USAGE
 Per-request usage:
    TXN_DEADLOCK flag will be set on the transaction. See C<db_txn_finish>,
