Other question I have is SQLite > and DBI part of standard Perl package or do I need to explicitly install the > modules. DBI and DBD::SQLite are not part of the core perl5 source distribution, but on the other hand: 1. Nothing prevents people from creating Perl distributions with them included. 2. Even the core Perl distribution is sometimes split into several components by downstream distributors (like Linux distributions, etc.). 3. You can easily install them from CPAN or using different means: http://perl-begin.org/topics/cpan/ . 4. I should note that DBD-SQLite includes the sources of the SQLite C library, for cases it's not available on the system, so you don't even need to install the latter. > > > > Though I question the types of information you have and what you > > do with it.

You may wish to look at http://ikiwiki.info/ or similar for that. ----------- Finally, I should note that you shouldn't prefix your replies with "PK>" or "PK>>" because that way it seems like you're quoting someone else.
