This question might be better answered on the database list.
A text file 'might' work if you do nothing but store a login name and
password. If you are going to store anything else like phone numbers, real
names, employee ids, then a text file is unlikely to work.
To use a text file you are going to need a search algorithm. I believe
there are several text file management modules in perl that might already do
this. I haven't used any of them so I can speak about that.
