Re: Re: favourite config method

One more thing that has worked for me in the past is to also have a central config file ...

This I like, but has problems getting info from it into a use lib line. The config file can contain a lot, but how do you get that and libs into your perl script. This is my question. I'm doing:

use lib '/some/static/path';
use MyModule::Config;
[download]

This means I have to change one line per script.

Is this optimal?

I use: `use Storable; $global_config = retrieve('/path/to/my/config.sto');` [download] in my scripts, that way I can access things like $global_config{'logdir'} globally. I have another script which can add/change/delete hash entries and then `nstore \%global_config, '/path/to/my/config.sto';` them. It seems to load up very quickly and has worked very well for me in the past. -Waswas	[reply] [d/l] [select]
