Perl comes with a number of DB-like access methods; see the listing in AnyDBM_File. And you just might have YAML installed - a number of other modules call for it - which would make life just peachy (stores the data in a cleverly-arranged text file, essentially.) Write a simple script that prompts you for the above data and rolls it into YAML as a hash, then retrieve it whenever needed.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use YAML 'DumpFile';
$|++;
# Cheating in a bit of data here...
my %images;
@images{1..5} = map "image$_.jpg", 1..5;
# Voila!
DumpFile("yaml.db", \%images);

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).
