Journal Deathlizard's Journal: Is There a Flat-File Web Based Download Library Manager? 1

I'm looking for a web application for my site that can handle a file archive for some programs that I've wrote, Particularly, something that allows me to upload files, posts screenshots of the programs and leave feedback (ratings, reviews, ETC)

Unfortunately, I do not have that many MYSQL databases for my web hosting account. I know I could switch hosts, but the price I'm paying for my current host is ideal and is basically overkill for what we use.

I've seen scripts like RW::Download, CFiles, and PAFileDB but they all require mysql databases. I've also looked in the CGI Resource index with not much better luck.

So, has anyone in the vast Slashdot community used anything similar to these above apps that uses a flat file database? Do they even exist? I really don't care if it uses PHP or perl, but I don't have the SQL database to spare for any of the programs I've ran into so far. File ratings would be nice and commenting would be ideal. File uploading by administrators of the system would also be nice but not exactly critical since I can FTP into the site. I would like for it to also have it's own page generation, that way I don't have to make a site full of links that I would need to update every time to add new files or functionality.
