Re: Re: Re: When hashes aren't enough

Why Not do both XML and HOH? Try: Config::General Write your HOH as XML, and with a few lines:

  use Config::General;
  my %CF = ParseConfig("./config.dat");
[download]

turn it into HOH in your code.

The module lets you write out hashes as files too.

Why overkill and do more work than you need to? As you say, the module lets you write out hashes to files too. If you ever need to represent it as anything other than hashes, you can do that work then. By the time you need it, you may even want to use another format. Writing the data as hashes is no extra work (less, rather) than writing the data as XML. `ihb`	[reply] [d/l]
