in reply to getting hashes out of config files

Why dont you take a look at the modules which have a more convenient API for persisting Perl data structures:
  • Config::IniFiles
  • Storable
  • FreezeThaw
  • AppConfig (formerly App::Config)

      I recommend a module Config::General.
      Simple API, flexible behaviour.
      Great to parsing configfiles in Apache style.
