in thread Net::Server config-file extension

Ah, Okay, apologies. I never noticed you were a Saint ;-)

Anyway, according to Server.pm, these are the only arguments that are available:

Key/value pairs used by the server are removed by the configuration process so that server layers on top of C<Net::Server> can pass and read their own parameters. Currently, Getopt::Long is not used. The following arguments are available in the default C<Net::Server> or C<Net::Server::Single> modules. (Other personalities may use additional parameters and may optionally not use parameters from the base class.) Key Value Default conf_file "filename" undef log_level 0-4 2 log_file (filename|Sys::Syslog) undef ## syslog parameters syslog_logsock (unix|inet) unix syslog_ident "identity" "net_server" syslog_logopt (cons|ndelay|nowait|pid) pid syslog_facility \w+ daemon port \d+ 20203 host "host" "*" proto (tcp|udp|unix) "tcp" listen \d+ SOMAXCONN reverse_lookups 1 undef allow /regex/ none deny /regex/ none ## daemonization parameters pid_file "filename" undef chroot "directory" undef user (uid|username) "nobody" group (gid|group) "nobody" background 1 undef setsid 1 undef no_close_by_child (1|undef) undef ## See Net::Server::Proto::(TCP|UDP|UNIX|etc) ## for more sample parameters.

I would suggest either hacking Server.pm, or creating a new config file for the whole lot.

Just my poor advise.
