Cory, If this is a database application, I would probably store this stuff in the database. These means: * Later you could easily make a web interface to the data if you wanted * You easily cross reference the group preferences with other parts of the data: "show me all the groups who like the color blue and bought three juggling balls last year" * You can use the same framework as the rest of your application (Perl/DBI) Of course, if one of the group configs is a different database handle, you may need a slightly different solution. All your other ideas below seemed workable-- I would personally tend towards the above solution. -mark http://mark.stosberg.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
