in reply to Database?

Yes. Take a look at DBD::CSV.

It lets you treat a standard comma-separated value file as a SQL database and perform SQL statements on it.

If you do eventually outgrow DBD::CSV, though (and you probably will if you do much database work), do take another look at MySQL. It's really a very fast, pretty simple database system, and I highly recommend it.

    DBD::CSV is very nice. And since it works like any other DBI driver, you won't have to completely rewrite your code when you are ready to upgrade to mySQL or some other RDBMS.
