For a different approach you may want to have a look at BerkeleyDB. It enables you to tie data structures to a file - there are no database servers to connect to, no SQL to write. There are options for hash, array, queue, heap and Btree, or you can choose your own serialization format for both keys and values, allowing you to store arbitrary data structures. You can do useful things like keep hash keys in sorted order, or have duplicate hash keys sorted by value.
For output, have a look at Text::Autoformat and Text::Template

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
