Which is an absolutely awful design decision, but that's another debate :-)

    how is that a bad decision? what alternatives do you suggest? mysql is certainly faster than slurping files.

      Think of DBI, a consistant interface so one can switch databases with minimum effort. Feel like Oracle one week? Postgre the next? That's how it should be designed.

        You still have to port your schema, and if you're doing anything with timestamps or unique identifiers, you'll have some portability work.

        well, doesn't perlmonks access mysql through the dbi?
