Hi (again)

I contacted the host (FREEOLA) and they advised me that there servers only support Perl Databases (woopie doo!!).

Any ideas on how difficult it is to write a Database in Perl?

Cheap host BTW, didn't cost alot.

I'd guess that he'll be able to get one of the first 3 from the host for free up to a certain database size. My host adds up all the space I use and doesn't care how I allocate it and bills me.
