There are many things to consider:
- what is the nature of the data being persisted?
- how is it accessed:
- what is the read/write ratio?
- how complex are the queries?
But for most things either MLDBM + lockfiles (very simple and thus
delightful to use) or DBI (for all the flexibility and complications of
relational databases).
