Hi, I am using a sub to read a config file, store it in a hash and then return the value. 
sub get_config {
    my %config;
    open (CONFIG, "$CONFIG_FILE") or die "Error: $!\n";
    while (my $line = <CONFIG>){
    #  verbose($line);
    chomp($line);

    if($line =~ m/WORKING_DIR=(.*)/){
        $config{"workingDir"} = $1;
        verbose("Working Dir: ".$config{"workingDir"}."\n");
    }elsif($line =~ m/INPUT_FILE=(.*)/){
        $config{"inputFile"} = $1;
        verbose("Input File: ".$config{"inputFile"}."\n");
    }elsif($line =~ m/MAP_FILE=(.*)/){
        $config{"mapFile"} = $1;
        verbose("Map file: ".$config{"mapFile"}."\n");
    }
    }
    
    close(CONFIG);
    
    return %config;
}

The config file looks like this: 

WORKING_DIR=/root/working/
INPUT_FILE=test.in
MAP_FILE=test.map
