Not $Subject, specifically, but our CanIt product is almost completely
database-driven.  We use a PostgreSQL database, but for what you
want, any SQL database would probably be fine, or even just Berkeley DB
with a tied hash.

If you go the SQL route, just create a table of subjects, with an index
for speedy lookup, and you should be fine.
