Esteemed monks.

As the title suggests, I am currently experiencing extreme difficulties with BerkeleyDB::Btree. I'm hoping it's common enough a module that someone has a recipe for me or can point me to one.

I've basically got a web server that utilizes BDB as an embedded database and separate server processes all access the BDB asynchronously. Now, I need a way to update the BDB periodically from outside of the server processes yet still have them pick up the changes.

While this doesn't sound difficult, what happens is some of the server processes are getting cut-off data when an update is occurring. This becomes painfully obvious when calling Storable::thaw on that cutoff value.

I've tried using DB_INIT_CDB and using cds_lock() but that seems to cause other issues such as freezing.

Please help!
