141
142Perl on Win32 supports only ASCII filenames (the reason is that it abuses
143an internal flag to store wether a filename is Unicode or ANSI, but that
144flag is used for somethign else in the perl core, so there is no way to
145detect wether a filename is ANSI or Unicode-encoded). The BDB module
146tries to work around this issue by assuming that the filename is an ANSI
147filename and BDB was built for unicode support.

772=head1 COMMON PITFALLS
773
774=head2 Unexpected Crashes
775
776Remember that, by default, BDB will execute requests in parallel, in
777somewhat random order. That means that it is easy to run a C<db_get>
778request on the same database as a concurrent C<db_close> request, leading
779to a crash, silent data corruption, eventually the next world war on
780terrorism.
781
782If you only ever use foreground requests (without a callback), this will
783not be an issue (unless you use threads).
784
785=head2 Unexpected Freezes or Deadlocks
786
787Remember that, by default, BDB will execute requests in parallel, which
788easily leads to deadlocks (even concurrent put's on the same database can
789deadlock).
790
791You either need to run deadlock detection (and handle the resulting
792errors), or make sure only one process ever updates the database, ine one
793thread, e.g. by using only foreground requests (without a callback).

834=head1 WIN32 FILENAMES/DATABASE NAME MESS
835
836Perl on Win32 supports only ASCII filenames (the reason is that it abuses
837an internal flag to store wether a filename is Unicode or ANSI, but that
838flag is used for somethign else in the perl core, so there is no way to
839detect wether a filename is ANSI or Unicode-encoded). The BDB module
840tries to work around this issue by assuming that the filename is an ANSI
841filename and BDB was built for unicode support.
