Really? And there was me thinking I was knocking up a quick proof-of-concept script. Still, I learnt a few things along the way, which is why I try to answer almost all the questions posted here in the first place. I only post the results if I *think* I have something that might be useful.

Re: Config::Inifiles. As hacker stated, he has been using that module, but going by the code he posted, it seems as though the keys parsed get supplied back to the caller as individual variables (eg. $bpp = 4 ) rather than as a collection? This would appear to be the main cause of hacker's coding troubles. It's much easier to avoid the 

if(exists key) { 
  if defined key) { 
    if value supplied { 
      if(value is valid) { 
         if(value eq this) { 
            use this 
         } 
         elsif (value eq that) { 
            do that 
         } else { 
            yell
         } 
      } 
      else { 
         use default 
      }
   } 
   else if( value is required ) {
      do something
   }
   else
      do something else
   }
}
else {
   key not supplied...
}

for every key, if they are in a collection.

Note:I haven't looked at the modules you mention, I'm just going by what I see.

Well It's better than the Abottoire, but Yorkshire!
