I'm not looking for performance there. In fact, I would fully expect a
disk hash to be MUCH slower than an in-memory array.

The reason why I think it would be a good idea is that it would make
updating the list much more trivial. No need to reconfigure or edit a
Perl source code file and potentially break things.
