Build it into hashes and arrays in perl and it will pop up to at least 100mb, get sloppy and copy instead of use refs and you can grow that amount very qucikly and cause big slowdowns. modify in memory and delay writes to disk and you can kiss it goodbye on poweroutage/system crash. Even though it may be possible (or even prudent) to do it in all memory understand the risks and problems you may be up against. If you have oracle/sybase/ms-sql licenses use what you have, else there are free databases such as mysql and postgres. -Waswas

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
