Enlightened Monks!

I'm working on a dashboard of some sort, showing current data for a number of defined views. Right now, I'm wondering about storing the data in a simple, elegant way. I want to store the data for a view as a JSON document, together with a timestamp. The frontend would ask the backend for the most recent document. The documents would be pushed to the storage periodically with another tool. Both the frontend and the data provider are Perl based.

I would like to ask for your opinion - what approach should I take? What tools should I use? These are my current considerations:

Maybe I'm too close to the problem to see the simple solution. I only need two things from the API - to be able to store a JSON string, and to be able to retrieve the most recent JSON string stored.

I seek your wisdom and recommendations. Both will be appreciated.
