Good idea, bart! But please change from the future tense to the past tense. My DBD::DBM has come as part of the DBI distribution for several years now. It handles many kinds of DBM files, including BerkeleyDB. It, like DBD::AnyData uses SQL::Statement as its SQL engine so look there for details of what SQL is supported but it makes use of MLDBM and the storage abilities of the various DBM files (including both DB_File and BerkeleyDB so doesn't operate the same way DBD::AnyData does.
