in reply to Ways of Passing Configuration Parameters

If you want to configure on the command line, which I think you are trying to do, take a peak at Getopt::Long.

It does the dash stuff for you, and can also handle multi valued arguments (--foo=bar --foo=monkey)

Cheers.

    No, it's not specified on the command line. It's a data declaration in a file. See the node referenced in the original note for details one what it's for.

    I thought about using Getopt::Long anyway, but don't know if I can make it look at an array other than @ARGV.

      I'm not sure that Getopt::Long is the right tool for the job here, but if you want to use it, localize @ARGV and assign your array of configuration parameters to @ARGV before making a call to Getopt::Long. There's some code and discussion of this here.
