in reply to Including files

Nowadays,
$ cat config.pl # This is config.pl mirror => 'http://www.nl.example.com/mirror', path => '/var/www/example', skip_files => [ 'png', 'gif', 'jpg' ], $ cat script.pl # This is script.pl use strict; my %config = do 'config.pl'; chdir $config{path}; $ perl script.pl $ perl -w script.pl Odd number of elements in hash assignment at script.pl line 3. Use of uninitialized value in list assignment at script.pl line 3. Use of uninitialized value $config{"path"} in chdir at script.pl line +4. $

    I would avoid configuration files containing executable code. There are many better alternatives: Re: Accessing variables in an external hash without eval

    Nowadays,

    FWIW, the code still works fine for me under 5.24.1 on Linux. However, I can suggest you try replacing 'config.pl' by './config.pl', as discussed here. Also, it's a good idea to add the error checking to do as shown in its documentation.
