DB_File is a module which allows Perl programs to make use of the API provided by version 1 of the Berkeley DB library.

This module can also be used with version 2, or greater, of the Berkeley DB library as long as Berkeley DB was built with the 1.85 API compatibility code. This is done by including the --enable-compat185 option when the Berkeley DB library is built.

For installation instructions see README.

API Documentation is in DB_File.pod.
