Not in the versions at the Darmstadt repository.

Maybe so, but what is doing the good work ?
Is it the Fcntl or the use of SDBM_File .
Please test:
use Fcntl;
use AnyDBM_File;
for on most platforms AnyDBM_File will choose better (i.e. more powerful)
database routines than are provided by SDBM_File .
(Fabrice mentioned the block-size limit.)

it seems that SDBM_File is rather lowly ranked among the possible utilities.
Its only real advantage is that it should always be present.
However AnyDBM_File has a hierarchy of choices, which can be adjusted
rather easily, if necessary (see p.379, concerning @ISA ).
Hope this helps,
