-  FILENAMES/DATABASE NAMES
-    The BDB expects "binary" filenames (octet strings) for pathnames on

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