I tend to use YAML::Store as a sort of poor-man's database for simple apps like that. There's also a module called 'fsdb' I used for a couple of projects which, IIRC, uses a one-file-per-object model for persistent storage. Running a full-featured client/server SQL database engine for applications that have only a handful of users is often overkill. -Lennon _______________________________________________ Camping-list mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list
