in reply to Simpler Config-Simple needed

You may want to use YAML for your config if what you want is arbitrary perl data structures. However, before going that route, you might want to check out Config::Std and see if it gets you close. It supports multi-valued config options out of the box.

    I've heard too many complaints about YAML breaking to touch it at this point. It seems to be a finicky beast. I'd probably recommend plain old Perl data structures or even XML before YAML.
