I am using the Config::Scopped module as I wanted inheritance of variables from different scopes. The documentation on CPAN (http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/Config-Scoped/Scoped.html#declarations) states that "Blocks can be nested to any depth." I think I am missing something as I have the following data 
# global scope

dist     =  "/archive/";

%warnings parameter off;    ### allow parameter redefinition


aa1  {

        environment = T;
        aa2 {
                Xlogin = "jimmy";
        }
}

And it fails with the following error 
Invalid decl item: Was expecting parameter or macro or comment or warn
+ing but found "aa2 {" instead at /home/.../XMLConfigs/e.cfg line 11.

I use the following code to read it 
 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Config::Scoped;
use Data::Dumper;


my $parser = Config::Scoped->new( file => 'e.cfg' );
my $config = $parser->parse;

print Dumper($config);

Please let me know if I am doing something stupid or the module does not work as expected. Its version 1.31 (based on the top of the scoped.pm file) I think the latest on CPAN, I did an install Config::Scoped about an hour ago. If the module is in a bad way can someone suggest a module which allows variables to be inherited and redefined in different scopes. Basically this module is what I need if I could get it to work :) . This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i386-linux
