Look at::

7.8 anydbm -- Generic access to DBM-style databases

anydbm is a generic interface to variants of the DBM database -- dbhash 
(requires bsddb ), gdbm , or dbm . If none of these modules is 
installed, the slow-but-simple implementation in module dumbdbm will be 
used.

This basically is a persistent dictionary that is saved in a file.

As far as I know the only limitation is that the keys must be strings.
