I am planning to write a small, non-bulky, easy to use and easy to port application for my personal use.
There is lot of information I store on Google docs like commands, key words, directory locations, script names etc. Pretty much everything which I use daily. Switching from shell to Web-browser is sometimes not so convenient. Hence I am planning to store these information in flat files with some keyword/switch and then use my application to parse and fetch the information I am looking for. Is there any better approach I can use instead of flat files like some personal db etc. One of the concern I have with databases like MySQL etc is that I would also have to install which would become a dependency and being honest I also dont' have that huge of a data. Does Perl have any standard database which comes installed with the standard package ON ALL Operating Systems. Feel free to share your thoughts. TIA Parag
