Well ... actually the subject you've chosen contains the name of a module you could use. The module allows you to "store a hash on the disk". See perldoc DB_File The DB_File as well as other "DBM"s allow you to store only a single string in the database for each key so you must either 1) join the data every time you store them and split them when reading 2) Use MLDBM module to do that automaticaly for you. See perldoc MLDBM Jenda =========== [EMAIL PROTECTED] == http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ========== There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere. It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain I can't find it. --- me -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
