Same with the thing I'm working on; just using DBM. I'm not dealing with
large amounts of data, so it's fast enough, though one day I might add
MySQL support. Don't really need a full relational db at this point, though.

Using DBM ties is so convenient, especially if you do something like

  use MLDBM qw(DB_File Storable);

which lets you just spit any arbitrary perl data struct out to disk (and, of
course, get it back later).
