DBD::CSV will allow you to create a "database" of CSV files. First create a 
sub-directory to place the files. Then use CREATE statements to create the "tables" 
(files). It's documented in the man page.

Subject: CSV database creation via DBI?


I am in the process of learning DBI.  My immediate goal it to create
a CSV database which I will populate from local text files.  I would
like to do this using a standalone Perl script.

Is is possible to create a database through CSV, or is DBI primarily
for accessing established databases?  If possible, how do I create
a local database via DBI?  If not, how do I manually create an empty
CSV database?

Thanks for your help.

Dave Wilson.
