Well, yeah, but doing that means:

	1.  I have to run a database server
	2.  I have to run a web server
	3.  doing 1 & 2 greatly reduces the amount of security on my 
	    system, something I'm not inclined to do wrt a system 
	    containing all my financial data.
	4.  3 implies a whole lot more work for me, and I'm lazy
	5.  All of the above removes the chance for me to write perl 
	    code and the opportunity I've been looking for to learn 
	    about XML :)
