erichansen1836,

Welcome...

Several years ago, I wrote a pure-Perl replacement for BerkeleyDB. My reasons were not about performance, but about licensing fees. Oracle bought SleeyCat and so controlled the licensing. For our clients ( Fortune 1000 companies ) the fees for Oracle's BerkeleyDB were many times the fees for our products.

This doesn't seem to be your problem, but you may want to consider 2 things.

If you are only going to use your product internally and only by you then this isn't a concern. But, if you are going to incorporate this with a commercial product than this will be very important. YMMV.

Our 1st client has a PurePerlDB database of more than 100 million records and has at times more than 1,000 users simultaneously using the data base. Big Data is real today and benchmarks of 10,000 records just don't tell the story.

Good luck, and your not alone!

Regards...Ed
