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