Well, by limiting yourself in this way you are basically stuck with either MLDBM (using GDBM or DB_File), or one of the text-based things you mentioned. If you really think performance is going to be a big issue, use MLDBM. If you can't live without SQL support and still need performance, you have to bite the bullet and get a real database.	[reply]

What is nice about compiling DBD::SQLite is that all the code is contained in the dist. A lot easier than installing mysql, postgresql, ...etc. I have installed on a variety of *nixes without any problems. I'm sure you are aware of this, just my 2 cents. sth	[reply]
