Try the DBI module.&nbsp;&nbsp;Look up the perldocs on it to learn how to use it.&nbsp;&nbsp;If it's not installed, you can get it from CPAN. (perl -MCPAN -eshell, install DBI)<br><br>If you only want to perform read/write operations and don't care about performing selects and other relations, then you can simply write it to a text file.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Tom Anderson<br>CEO, Order amid Chaos, Inc.<br><A HREF="

if your database is a perl written database (.pag) try
dmbopen(%main,'main',0666); #to open the database file
#&quot;main&quot; being the database
dmbclose(%main); #to close the database file
