Is it possible to make a yahoo-like site without MySQL or any other db, but plain text? Something like Links 2.0 in Perl.

Yup. As long as you have any sort of hierarchical reliable data file,
you can do whatever you want with it (though binary files will need
encoding).
You could even make a page that stored its information in a GIF file if
you wanted. It's just all in the logic :)

You can do it using files but it won't be resource efficient and not
advisable from efficiency point of view.
