A web database using just perl and excel spreadsheets?

October 5th, 2010 by

Question by jayztttight: A web database using just perl and excel spreadsheets?
I have been given an old website to update. Apparently the database has been built only with perl and xls (excel) files. I have only used php & mysql so I am totally confused. If anyone could give me any insight on what to expect (the site heavily uses Flash, so I have no idea how Flash calls information from the database) I would appreciate it?

How to have a text-file based database in Perl?

August 30th, 2010 by

Question by Kyle: How to have a text-file based database in Perl?
I need to make a small database for a small program I’m doing in Perl, but I have no idea how to make it. I need my program to interact with this database, retrieving information and sending updated information.

The database should just be a small text file with a Userlist list and an Accounts list.

Anyone have a direction they can point me in? It’s not a large-scale program, it just needs to be a small .txt storage area that I can interact with.

Look at the Tie::File module and/or the DBD::AnyData module…
