How are posts saved in the 4cdhan imageboard software? Is it a database or still a flat-file system?

1. Back when PHP wasn't that popular or even nonexisting and Perl was used for these image/textboard scripts, did they also use flat files or was an own database coded for this? Did Perl support databases at all back then (I read it does now)?
2. If flat/text files were used, how did they handle multiple access to one file, like hundreds of people posting in the same thread? Does Perl handle them one after each other automatically, or does a coder have to add his own lines in the script to handle this?
