I don't think it does enough to warrant inclusion in DBD::*, nor have I
planned to make it accessible via DBI.  It's just another method for
disk-based stateful hashes, like all the *DBM_File modules.  Modules like
AnyDBM_File and DB_File are causing some unpredictable results in some of my
code, depending on the version and implementation of the dbm libs they're
linked against.  This is just my way of getting predictable results without
requiring admins to upgrade or install new system libs, along with the
requisite Perl modules.
