It uses the Berkeley Database, an enhanced BTree format database. If that
means anything to you. :-)

Can you use a Berkeley DB? Sure, use the DBI interface--it should be part
of your Perl 5 installation.
Can you link directly to the ht://Dig databases using Perl? Yes and no.
There's the HtDig::Database module (you can find it on CPAN) that works
reasonably well. But it doesn't work under 3.2, though there are other
approaches to using 3.2's databases through the htdump/htload programs.
