+=head1 ext/ODBM_File/odbm Test Failing With Static Builds
+
+The ext/ODBM_File/odbm is known to fail with static builds
+(Configure -Dusedl) due to a known bug in Tru64's static libdbm
+library. The good news is that you very probably don't need to ever
+use the ODBM_File extension since more advanced NDBM_File works fine,
+not to mention the even more advanced DB_File.
