I too [perl.org] have found the Rhino [oreilly.com] to be invaluable and yes it's a necessary evil :-)

I bought Object Oriented Perl a month or so back and I can't recommend it enough - get it!
Store not relational? (Score:2)

by autarch (914)

In what way does a store not map well onto a relational database?

Category
----------
category_id
category_name
parent_category_id (may be NULL)

Item
------
item_id
category_id

What does it matter if this doesn't make sense for users? That's what tools and applications are for!

The data storage/retrieval mechanism should not have anything to do with what's easy for the user.
