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.

709 712
710The default implementation works like this: 713To allow other, callback-based, events to be executed while callback-less
714ones are run, you could use this sync prepare function:
711 715
712 sub { 716 sub {
713 my $status; 717 my $status;
714 ( 718 (
715 sub { $status = $! }, 719 sub { $status = $! },
716 sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status }, 720 sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status },
717 ) 721 )
718 } 722 }
719 723
720It simply blocks the process till the request has finished and then sets 724It works by polling for results till the request has finished and then
721C<$!> to the return value. This means that if you don't use a callback, 725sets C<$!> to the return value. This means that if you don't use a
722BDB will simply fall back to synchronous operations. 726callback, BDB would simply fall back to synchronous operations.
727
728By default, or if the sync prepare function is set to C<undef>, is to
729execute callback-less BDB requests in the foreground thread, setting C<$!>
730to the return value, without polling for other events.

770=head1 COMMON PITFALLS
771
772=head2 Unexpected Crashes
773
774Remember that, by default, BDB will execute requests in parallel, in
775somewhat random order. That means that it is easy to run a C<db_get>
776request on the same database as a concurrent C<db_close> request, leading
777to a crash, silent data corruption, eventually the next world war on
778terrorism.
779
780If you only ever use foreground requests (without a callback), this will
781not be an issue (unless you use threads).
782
783=head2 Unexpected Freezes or Deadlocks
784
785Remember that, by default, BDB will execute requests in parallel, which
786easily leads to deadlocks (even concurrent put's on the same database can
787deadlock).
788
789You either need to run deadlock detection (and handle the resulting
790errors), or make sure only one process ever updates the database, ine one
791thread, e.g. by using only foreground requests (without a callback).

832=head1 WIN32 FILENAMES/DATABASE NAME MESS
833
834Perl on Win32 supports only ASCII filenames (the reason is that it abuses
835an internal flag to store wether a filename is Unicode or ANSI, but that
836flag is used for somethign else in the perl core, so there is no way to
837detect wether a filename is ANSI or Unicode-encoded). The BDB module
838tries to work around this issue by assuming that the filename is an ANSI
839filename and BDB was built for unicode support.
