Re: What is the easiest way of having a configuration file for my program?

Three modules on CPAN, (one which is already mentioned above, but is now called something else):

Config::General is part of the bigger Config-General module, and AppConfig is the parent of AppConfig::File

They both read configuration files that are in the standard format that you would expect, but give you many, many options.

HTH.

To my beginner eyes, this looks much the same as the two that I mentioned previously. If I may ask, what sets this apart from them? Thanks. Walking the road to enlightenment... I found a penguin and a camel on the way..... Fancy a yourname@perl.me.uk? Just ask!!!	[reply]

Could you post this as a separate answer to the question, along with a brief description (better yet, example) of what differentiates it? Thanks.	[reply]
