Also remember you have the <DATA> file handle at the end of the module, if your data is small enough. That way, everything's self-contained. I like to roll my own little mini-format of data, keep it at the end of the module, and read it in the INIT block.

But then again, if you're keeping .db files, chances are you've outgrown that.
