Data::Dumper and MLDBM would work quite well. However, this would also be an excellent opportunity to make use of some XML. In an XML file, you could simply say: There are quite a few Perl modules at CPAN which will parse an XML file for you. You can just go there and do a search for 'XML'. I have in the past found XML::Simple, XML::TokeParser, and XML::Twig to be useful. Those three all use XML::Parser to do their dirty work. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you could always try and use XML::Parser directly. However, most of what you may want to do has already been implemented, and no need to reinvent the wheel unless you're trying to learn how something works :-) Good Luck! -Eric
