BerkeleyDB install errors (perl v5.6.1, MSWin32-x86-multi-thread) using PPM - Perl

Hi,

My mistake, as windows platform perl programmer perhaps we do not have
privilege to use this package BerkeleyDB. Check this out. This package
is not available on MSWin32-x86-multi-thread.

ppm> describe BerkeleyDB
====================
Name: BerkeleyDB
Version: 0.20
Author: Paul Marquess (Paul.Marquess@btinternet.com)
Title: BerkeleyDB
Abstract: Perl extension for Berkeley DB version 2, 3 or 4
Location: ActiveState PPM2 Repository
Available Platforms:
1. IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi
2. PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi
3. sun4-solaris-thread-multi
====================


However currently I have DB_File installed on my PC. I am using it in
fashion
use MLDBM qw(DB_File Storable)

And things are working fine for me so far so good. Surprisingly if you
look as describe for DB_File it says (access to Berkeley DB version
1.x), and how it is working in fine if I do not have Berkeley DB
installed on my perl installation?

If anyone can throw some light on this that would be great.

Describe for DB_File
ppm> describe DB_File
====================
Name: DB_File
Version: 1.806
Author: Paul Marquess (Paul.Marquess@btinternet.com)
Title: DB_File
Abstract: Perl5 access to Berkeley DB version 1.x
Location: ActiveState PPM2 Repository
Available Platforms:
1. i686-linux-thread-multi
2. IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi
3. MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
4. sun4-solaris-thread-multi
====================


Thanks
Sujit
