I wrote a blog-compiler which imports a series of blog-posts, from plain-text files, into an SQLite database.

The database lives in the home directory of the current user. That makes sense for me, but if it doesn't the user can specify it via a command-line argument.

(App::Chronicle for reference.)

Beyond that it depends on the use-case for the database. Is it supposed to be updated? Will things function if it is deleted/not-present?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
