in thread Simple Data storage

Hi, Thanks for the replies guys.

The site I'm working on is a community project on a shared server so I'm resticted in what modules I can use. I've just run PerlDiver to check what is available and none of the modules mentioned here are installed.

Perl 5.6.1 is the version running on the server. Are there other modules that you can suggest I look for and mug up on or any ides on a solution that does note require any modules other than CGI would be helpful.

Many Thanks again.

Best wishes

Sid

    there are quite a few nodes around here about installing modules for your specific username. I don't have reference to any of them on hand.. but you should be able to install these modules on your server w/o affecting anyone else's work.

    Storable is no worse than require 'savefile'; in this case. I think it is included with Perl 5.6.1.

    If you print out a file then require it back in, and your escaping is not correct you're opening yourself to code injection. Storable would protect you from this.
