Need a database editor

[Mark Givens]

Hello, I am searching for a PERL based password protected program that will
allow me to edit, add, delete, etc. records in a pipe delimited database.
Any one know of a simple app that will suffice?

I suppose that 'pipe delimited' means that you have a flat text file
with each record on one line, and each field separated by a '|'?

No, but you could use some of the modules on CPAN,
http://www.perl.com/CPAN.

Have a look at the Sprite module

NAME
Sprite - Module to manipulate text delimited databases using
SQL.

There are ways of asking for passwords, and checking them. See the
various perl faqs for possibilities.
