Back-perl is for when all operations in a subtree are served by perl
scripts only.  back-bdb is for when a subtree is served by Berkeley DB
only.  What you need to do is to modify the source code for back-bdb
and insert calls to the perl script in the appropriate places.

That will fork a separate process with a perl script for each
modification, though.  If you instead want Perl to be built into slapd
and just call Perl subroutines as in back-perl, you need to merge the
code of back-perl into the code of back-bdb somehow.
