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.

451is given, use C<$!>.

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

620This mechanism can be used to include BDB into other event mechanisms,
621such as L<AnyEvent::BDB> or L<Coro::BDB>.

632
633It simply blocks the process till the request has finished and then sets
634C<$!> to the return value. This means that if you don't use a callback,
635BDB will simply fall back to synchronous operations.
