Sorry. No idea. I didn't wrote that C# program because I don't know C#

is not possible in perl.

It is possible. The person who wrote the C# library probably either
bought the $2,000 license for SEE* or rolled his or her own version of
it. You can buy the license or roll your own version of SEE for Perl
as well. It is quite possible, but, since you can't redistribute the
source code to SEE, there won't be CPAN module for it. Frankly, not
being able to see the source code to System.Data.SQLite.DLL and its
unknown provenence (how can you trust someone you don't know) would
cause me to worry about its level security (did he or she put in a
back door?, did he or she make an error compiling it?, etc.).
* SQLite Encryption Extension
Yes you are right. That dll might have a backdoor or some bugs in it, as
well as any other Windows program that doesn't offer the source code.
However, a C# programmer would be able to use an encrypted SQLite database
very easy with it, while a perl programmer would need to create its own way
of encrypting the database, and this might not be very easy.
