in reply to Changing records
Yeah, I know, databases are the "bomb", but I don't have the funds to pay for a host that has databases. I'm working strictly with CGI on the internet, so installing mySQL or other is out of the question. I guess flat files are the only thing for me :-{...

There are Perl modules which will make it easier for you to treat flat text files as if they were databases, including doing SQL-like queries on them. You could check out Tie::File and Tie::CSV_File and DBD::CSV and there's another one I can't remember.
