Oops missing the compare function.
 sub _compare { $_[0] <=> $_[1] }

Keys are numeric bins of the form 10000.000178 - this adapted from a mysql strategy where we are testing for bins within the boundaries but I am interested in an in-memory adaptation.

I want to iterate through a subset of the keys that are bounded by some values $begin, $end not the whole set of keys as is demonstrated in all the examples. I was using get_dup to initialize the cursor and then iterate through all the available keys, however the cursor will only point to keys which have >1 value.

Ahem. I was making it harder than it should be. 

$bhandle->seq($start,$v,R_CURSOR);
while( $bhandle->seq($k,$v,R_NEXT) == 0 ) {
   last if( $k> $end);
   ...
}

Gets me what I want. Calling get_dup to initialize the cursor was not a smart idea and was the root of the problem.
