Look at Text::CSV for reading CSV files. As far as a lightweight
database to use, I have used sqlite3 successfully. It has support in
the DBI module. The nice thing about sqlite3 is the database is just a
single file. Its limitation is it does no user authentication or
authorization, but is fine for a small project.
