Re: Config::General to read both scalars and arrays

From the documentation it seems arrays are defined by repeating the key:

 list_of_items = apple
 list_of_items = ball
 list_of_items = cup
[download]

The square brackets can be used for single-element arrays only under ForceArray.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

Hey choroba, Thank you for the quick response. Yes, identical options generate an array. But, I'm explicitly needing the ability to: Overwrite previous values `user_name = "Marshall"``# Change value within default.ini` Create an array of values `list_of_items = ["apple", "ball", "cup"]` The documentation is light on arrays. There's a few settings that seem to apply but, I can't get them to work as advertised. Well, at least how I understand it to be advertised. Mainly I've been playing around with MergeDuplicateOptions and MergeDuplicateBlocks.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
