Greetings Perl Experts, I have a script which is already running fine for a small number of servers monitoring. The name of servers are given in script itself (because as of now those were very less to monitor). Now I need to add 100+ server names and trying to do it using external config file which will contain only name of servers. 
my @services = (
#[ 'servername-001', '10.68.197.91', 1666    ],
[ 'servername-001', 'imm-servername-001.companyname.com' ],
[ 'servername-002', 'imm-servername-002.companyname.com' ],
);

The question is how can I change this script to read following part from an external text file in the same variable name as mentioned above: 
[ 'servername-001', 'imm-servername-001.companyname.com' ],
[ 'servername-002', 'imm-servername-002.companyname.com' ],

I know it is not that difficult but I dont have perl expertise either :)) So, any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
