The problem is, both of those use MySQL as their backend, if I'm correct. He says he can't use MySQL.

So, to the original poster: You can't use DBM. You can't install an SQL database..

AFAIK you're out of luck. There are many good database products out there, and if you can't use them, well... you can't use them.

The only thing I could think of would be to use flat files or to write your own ISAM type database in perl. And I don't want to think about that.
