Really? No databases, whatsoever. Not even some xSV files?
In the context of the discussion I was considering DBMS and that is what people usually mean when they say database, we certainly don't have any DBA's looking after flat files :) If you want to argue that a file system or a flat file is a database then, again in the context of the discussion, Perl already has plenty of support in the core, no other modules required :) There are many types of servers which need no database for example; firewalls, mail gateways, proxy servers, web servers, applications servers... the last two may be operating as a front end to a database but run no database themselves.

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
are good places to start.
