I implemented a simple tagging system last year in Perl, with some command line tools. It was what we might call "brute force" design It basically mirrored the file system in ~/.labels and kept the tag data there, with a simple grep to pull the data out. It was a TERRIBLE idea. And really, now that I mention it, an irrelevant aside.
