in reply to Community Teaching Project II - the Call to Arms

I'm certainly interested, although I've little (read: no) experience with this sort of thing.

It seems like queries against this would make more sense as a database, but that brings up all sorts of ugly non-perlness (OS, DB specific..) Therefore, why don't we make it focus on inputting data, selecting an indexing style, and outputting a file (CSV?). Thus, given any info, we can not only index it, we can facilitate dropping it into a database for future use.

    That's exactly what we're looking for. Sure, if we could enlist vroom, mdillon, btrott, and some others, we could probably hack this out in a few days. That's not the goal. The goal is to learn by doing - and just learn more than the average perl script teaches you.
