No. MySQL would be overkill for an application like this unless you're talking about
several thousand lines. Otherwise you can just use something like...
my $foo = "/path/to/file";
open(INFILE,"<$foo");
my @records = <INFILE>;
close(INFILE);
for(@records) {
chomp;
my ($rec,$band,$artist) = split(/,/,$_);
print "Band = $band \n";
print "Artist = $artist \n";
}

Subject: Do I need MySQL?
Hi all,
I want to read and sort a comma separated file like:
abc,Metallica,Larry
bcd,Megadeth,Wall
cde,Ozzy,Perl
I want to be able to sort the line using all the 3 columns.
I am a beginner in Perl and I don't know to use MySQL yet.
Is it possible to do what I want without a database?
Thank you!
Teddy,
