Well, according to the docs, it is, provided you follow the docs (use flags)
#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dump;
use BerkeleyDB;
for my $opts ( [], [-Flags => DB_CREATE| DB_INIT_CDB | DB_INIT_MPOOL]
+ ){
my $env = BerkeleyDB::Env->new(
-Home => './home',
@$opts,
) or warn "cannot open environment: $BerkeleyDB::Error\n";
dd $env, [ glob './home/*' ];
}
__END__
On first run it doesn't exist, so first try, without flags, fails -- you need flags to initialize
$ perl berkeleydb.env.pl
cannot open environment: No such file or directory
(undef, [])
(
bless([12346044], "BerkeleyDB::Env"),
[
"./home/__db.001",
"./home/__db.002",
"./home/__db.003",
"./home/__db.004",
],
)
On second run both tries work, because its already initialized
$ perl berkeleydb.env.pl
(
bless([10087228], "BerkeleyDB::Env"),
[
"./home/__db.001",
"./home/__db.002",
"./home/__db.003",
"./home/__db.004",
],
)
(
bless([12336228], "BerkeleyDB::Env"),
[
"./home/__db.001",
"./home/__db.002",
"./home/__db.003",
"./home/__db.004",
],
)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
