Try to look at Config::Tiny. Config file can look like this: 

debug = 1

[routers] 

router1 = 192.168.1.2
router2 = 192.168.1.3
router3 = 192.168.1.4
router4 = 192.168.1.5
router5 = 192.168.1.6

[groups]

group1 = [router1,router5]
group2 = [router1, router2, router3]
group3 = [router2, router3, router4]

You can get access to the those variables in your script: 
use Config::Tiny;

my $conf = Config::Tiny->read('your_config');

my $debug = $conf->{_}->{debug};
my $routers = $conf->{routers}; # Hash ref with routers information
my $groups = $conf->{groups}; # Hash ref with group information

my $router1 = $routers->{router1}; # Router's IP
my $group1 = $groups->{group1}; # Array ref with routers list which be
+long to group 1.
