When you use DBI, do you *have* to have a separate daemon-run database or is there a Perl module that provides a backend to DBI? I'd rather use DBI because it's more convenient for complex data structures and so I can use SQL, but if you need to install a database to use DBI, I might try to make due with DBM. Pete Pete, There are various ways to use DBI without a RDBMS server running somewhere. Take a gander at search.cpan.org, and search for DBD. There are drivers to run against various types of flat files: cvs, DBD::WTSprite, DBD::SQLite2 HTH Jay ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
[vox-tech] Konqueror
Hi, Does anybody knows the location of Koqueror's Introduction Screen page. This is the page that Konqueror displays when you run it for the first time. This page appears when you have as your Home page a ~. Konqueror somehow knows where to find it, it must be hard-coded or something similar. Thanks a lot in advance, Alfredo ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

[vox-tech] Using Perl to Find and Replace
I am working on a cdrom 'snapshot' of a website I help maintain for use at demos where there is no network access. Practically every page uses server side includes. I need to scan through an html file for expressions of the following format: !-- #include virtual= relative_path_to_file/filename -- and replace the expression: !-- #include virtual= relative_path_to_file/filename -- with the contents of 'filename'. I know how to use Perl to scan through a file for a specified regular expression and replace it (thank to an earlier post - you guys are awesome!) but I'm lost as to how to locate regular expressions of the given pattern, interpret a portion of it as the name of a file, then extract that file's content and replace the original expression...!? Perl, anyone...? ;-) - Trevor ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

I recommend looking into Sqlite (http://sqlite.org/), one of the options that Jay mentioned. It is daemonless SQL database engine embedded in a C library, which stores its databases in binary files.
