Once we abstract how a tool asks for the list of candidate distros, it doesn't matter what's on the other side. For people constrained to what comes with Perl, such as people installing Perl for the first time, we also have to work with what comes with Perl to at least bootstrap people. Since DBI and SQLite aren't core, and it's much easier to do a proof of concept with a text file, that's what I'm using for now.
