I need some help with AppConfig. I emailed Andy Wardley but after a whole day he did not respond.

First off, I want to know if I should be using this module or App::Config instead? Second, I dont know why I am having so much trouble taking a configuration and turning it into a hash.

Here is my file (.appconfig) 

[urth]
User    = metaperl
Pass    = xxxxxxx
Host    = urth.org
RemoteDir = /home/metaperl/rsync
Type    = I

[download]

Here is my program: 

use AppConfig;
use Net::FTP::Common;
use strict;

my $config = AppConfig->new({CASE=>1});
$config->file('/Users/metaperl/.appconfig');
my %urth = $config->varlist('^urth_', 1);

use Data::Dumper;
die Dumper(%urth);

But unfortunately, my output from the program is rather odd: 

[localhost:~/src/net_ftp_common/scripts] metaperl% perl rsync.pl
urth_User: no such variable at /Users/metaperl/.appconfig line 2
urth_Pass: no such variable at /Users/metaperl/.appconfig line 3
urth_Host: no such variable at /Users/metaperl/.appconfig line 4
urth_RemoteDir: no such variable at /Users/metaperl/.appconfig line 5
urth_Type: no such variable at /Users/metaperl/.appconfig line 6
Died at rsync.pl line 10.
[localhost:~/src/net_ftp_common/scripts] metaperl%
