:) None of those; I'm using your binary distribution of 5.8.2.

And you get the ENOENT error?

It (the file ending in . and the DB_File tie failure) only happens for
me on the snapshot, not on 1.5.9.
This doesn't seem to have anything to do with perl; further
experimentation shows you can create files ending with a . which are
not stat'able unless another file exists with the same name without
the dot. (and even then rm on the dotted name removes the non-dotted
file):
$ cat >foo.
bar
^D
$ cat foo
cat: foo: No such file or directory
$ cat foo.
bar
$ ls -l foo.
ls: foo.: No such file or directory
$ ls -l foo
ls: foo: No such file or directory
$ cat>foo
baz
^D
$ ls -l foo.
-rw-r--r-- 1 sthoenna None 5 Apr 27 01:43 foo.
$ ls -l foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 sthoenna None 5 Apr 27 01:44 foo
$ cat foo.
bar
$ cat foo
baz
$ rm foo.
$ ls -l foo*
ls: foo.: No such file or directory
$ cmd /c 'dir foo*'
