Read the perl POD for BekeleyDB.pm and the oracle documentation for BerkeleyDB. Who would need BDB-ENV -errfile if such errors could be catched elsewhere easely? After (e.g.) a HASH %bar is tied to : memory, file, orderedtie, BerkeleyDB, ODBC, ADO or any native RDBM (oracle,db2,mysql,mariadb,mssql,postgre .....) - a simple call like $bar{$foo} accesses totaly different code (the driver). It is impossible to catch all possible errors for all cases for all tied mechanism, after such a call, to write them to maillog.txt. ASSP tries to do its best to catch as much of the errors as possible and to recover from error conditions automatically. But errors may occure at software layers, which can't be accessed by assp. ASSP catches all errors at init-time of BerkeleyDB (and recovers if possible). If there occure errors at runtime for BerkeleyDB, someone can enable 'BDBErrLog' to get the runtime errors recorded.

Thank you. If msvcrt is being used, would 512 open files ever not be enough? I feel like I was getting the file issues when many links to BDB-error.txt files were getting stuck open, so exceeding 512, but that was ultimately because of my stupid griplist directory misconfiguration combined with bad TLS early talkers. I guess I'm trying to understand why $winSetMaxIO_DLL and $winSetMaxIO hidden params were necessary, so I can understand how to set them for my set up. Do you know if the Strawberry Perl installations at https://strawberryperl.com/releases.html compiled with DUSE_PERLIO? I tried looking it up, but I'm coming up empty With BDBErrLog set to 0, I assume that any error with BDB files would still be spit out to the maillog.txt file so we can be alerted that something's wrong?
