    If you go this route (I consider it a good one, with the caveat that I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish clearly), I can heartily recommend YAML::AppConfig.

      Where I am, we usually use either YAML::Tiny or JSON::PP.

      YAML::Tiny is a very readable, light weight subset of YAML.

      JSON::PP partly because it is a core module. It is less readable, but handles complex structures better than YAML::Tiny.
