Anyone who owns a web site should look into “Site Master” (SM) by Ioannis Livassov of Athens, Greece. This is a Perl based CGI script which helps in its own setup. Copy sm.cgi to your cgi-bin folder, set permissions via CHMOD 755, create folder /cgi-bin/smConfig and CHMOD 777, then call the script through your browser [...]

The storage is much more compact than plain text “flat files”, can handle vastly more data than personal computer spreadsheets, and have built in utilities for organizing and retrieving data.
