And a very simple way to implement a prototype SQL/database application
is DBD::AnyData, which uses various formats of flat text files
for its 'storage', so it doesn't require the installation of
any database whatsoever.
Not recommended for large production databases :)

A non-relational, non-SQL solution is DB_File, which is an
interface to Berkeley DB via a tied hash or array.

Someone else recommended 'Interbase', it looks like the
source can be gotten here:
http://www.borland.com/devsupport/interbase/opensource/
and there is a DBD module for it on CPAN.
