lib/anydbm #12 is the Berkeley DB 2 null key thing again. That I know
should fail.

lib/db-btree #36 and lib/db-hash #31 are tests to see if R_NOOVERWRITE
works. Apparently not.

I wrote a quick one-liner to test​:
./perl -Ilib -MFcntl -MDB_File -wle '$X = tie(%h, "DB_File","Dfile", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0640, $DB_BTREE) || die $!; $status = $X->put( "x", "newvalue", R_NOOVERWRITE) ; print $status'
Name "main​::h" used only once​: possible typo at -e line 1.
0

./perl -Ilib -MFcntl -MDB_File -wle '$X = tie(%h, "DB_File","Dfile", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0640) || die $!; $status = $X->put( "x", "newvalue", R_NOOVERWRITE) ; print $status'
Name "main​::h" used only once​: possible typo at -e line 1.

I also tested against my copy of 5.005_03 with the same results.

However, I just remade 5.005_03 and ran test on it and it passed
everything but db-btree and db-hash.

5.005_60 was compiled with DB 2.4.14. The system is an up-to-date
Debian Potato.

Known problem with DB_File 1.68. Fixed in DB_File 1.70
