File as a database 1

[Corwinsw]

I wanna create my own simple database (one table with 4-5 columns), and hold it in some files. Also wanna use select/update statements the same way as in DBI interface allows. Can somebody hint me the best way(a module), which I can do that?

Try out DBD::CSV:

If you are trying to avoid large db installations with all of the accompanying headaches (mysql etc) but want all of the functionality of a relational db, you can also try sqlite.

http://www.sqlite.org/

It works just like a relational database and even has a perl interface through the DBD module.
