1.I'm trying to use Berkeley DB with Perl.

       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 later releases. Because current
       Berkeley DB versions have a compatibility API for version 1.85,
       you can (and should!) build the DB_File module using a current
       release of Berkeley DB, although DB_File will still only support
       the original DB 1.85 functionality. 

       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 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/.

       Questions about DB_File and BerkeleyDB are best asked on the Usenet 
       newsgroup comp.lang.perl.modules. If you are really desperate, 
       you can try Paul Marquess.
