Uugh, there's a reason it's limited to 100 with a dodgy flat file db
format :)

The change will almost certainly be just a few if()'s, maybe a variable
somewhere, but I wouldn't put money on a dodgy perl cgi being that well
thought out, and given what it uses as a data file this is probably a
Good Thing :)
