What if my website does not have MySQL or DBM capabilities?
No problem. You do not have to have DBI, MySQL or DBM installed on your server to use SurfShopPRO™, but if you do, SurfShopPRO™ is more than happy to utilize it. SurfShopPRO™ uses Perl 5 and gives you the option to use MySQL, Berkeley DB, Unix NDBM, or even plain text ASCII. SurfShopPRO™ was designed for webmasters who wish to have a standalone solution that does not require a lot of third party software to be running on the web server. One of the most elegant features of our system is its portability and autonomy from the server administrator. We decided to build the script so it would work on virtually any shared hosting account. Over time, we have scaled it up to utilize more advanced database functionality, while still retaining its original simplicity.
