Need Help??

in reply to Lazy config files?

For my config files i use a perl module, then dereference the data structure. It may become difficult to use when scaled excessively, but works well in my situation.

Package Attr;

use strict;
use vars qw(%struct);

%struct = (
            foo => 'bar'.
            baz => {
                     blah => 1,
                   }
          );

and to use it:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use Attr;
use vars qw(%struct);
*struct = \%Attr::struct;

Yeah, I kinda like evalling a file instead of parsing names and values. It leaves the design open, you can put custom behavior in there as well as just values. I might try to mix this approach with Data::Lazy. Ta	[reply]
