in thread user profile/account management modules?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I am *NOT* talking about a shell account.

I am talking about a generic user account/database membership backend to be used in a web-based environment. As you would see in a social networking site like myspace, community portals, or any site requiring user profiles and membership.

    A relational database is a good solution if you have data that will .. 'relate'. *ahem*

    Are you going to be asking things like 'how many users are logged in?'?
    If not, you could set it up in flat files.- text.

    Something I like a lot for this kind of thing is CGI::Session and CGI::Validate.
