yes, i think it will make sense to katgirl. katgirl has a 'site' and currently stores data in a flat-file. that implies at least a bit of knowledge about CGI, reading/writing files, and storage of persistant data. definately above the threshold for understanding that a magical 'tie' can link a HASH to a file automatically.
not only that, but there wasn't another response that actually answered the OP question as to what those DBM modules that are already installed actually do. database class this, read these books, plan requirements, ... made everything sound so hard.
though i will admit to answering the question because katgirl is of the feline persuasion.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
