I would very sincerely like to know, BrowserUK, why you advocate constructing an index, as it were, “manually,” instead of either (a) putting the data into (say...) a SQLite database file, Firstly, I didn't advocate it. I simply supplied an answer to the OPs question. But, there are several circumstances under which I might (and have) used it.
SQLite is obviously more powerful, but if you do not need that, it is of no benefit. And it comes at the expense of less flexibility unless you drive it from Perl, at which point you're into populating it via the DBI interface with the inherent slowdown. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
