There isn't a database bundled with perl, but there's a bunch on CPAN that don't require any external software (I assume you don't want to install the likes of MySQL etc). The most commonly recommended modules seem to be DBD::AnyData and DBD::CSV. There's also the likes of DBD::File, DBD::RAM, DBD::Sprite and possibly DBD::SQLite if you've got a C compiler handy.

Update: there is in fact a database that comes with perl - SDBM_File. /me runs off to get better acquainted with the core modules ...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
