<p>The original Perl module for Berkeley DB was DB_File, which was written to
|
||
interface to Berkeley DB version 1.85. The newer Perl module for Berkeley DB is
|
||
BerkeleyDB, which was written to interface to version 2.0 and subsequent
|
||
releases. Because Berkeley DB version 2.X has a compatibility API for version
|
||
1.85, you can (and should!) build DB_File using version 2.X of Berkeley DB,
|
||
although DB_File will still only support the 1.85 functionality.</p>
|
||
<p>DB_File is distributed with the standard Perl source distribution (look
|
||
in the directory "ext/DB_File"). You can find both DB_File and BerkeleyDB
|
||
on CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network of mirrored FTP sites.
|
||
The master CPAN site is
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="ftp://ftp.funet.fi/" target="_top">ftp://ftp.funet.fi/</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Versions of both BerkeleyDB and DB_File that are known to work correctly
|
||
with each release of Berkeley DB are included in the distributed Berkeley DB source
|
||
tree, in the subdirectories <code class="filename">perl.BerkeleyDB</code> and
|
||
<code class="filename">perl.DB_File</code>. Each of those directories contains a
|
||
<code class="filename">README</code> file with instructions on installing and using those
|
||
modules.</p>
|
||
<p>The Perl interface is not maintained by Oracle. Questions about the
|
||
DB_File and BerkeleyDB modules are best asked on the Usenet newsgroup
|
||
comp.lang.perl.modules.</p>
