Saul,
I think there is less influence on perl by enabling gdbm except that we
get a dynamic extend module. We compiled perl with gdbm enabled, we can
get "perl-module-gdbm-file" package and it provides the following files:
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/GDBM_File.pm
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/auto
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/auto/GDBM_File
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/auto/GDBM_File/GDBM_File.bs
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/auto/GDBM_File/GDBM_File.so

I add dependency of perl "+DEPENDS += "gdbm", because compiling gdbm
module of perl needs the "gdbm.h" provided by gdbm-dev.
