Neat indeed.

The docs give an example config file:

[client] host=localhost [perl] host=perlhost
What would the syntax be to have usr and password in there as well?

Thanks for the tip.

update

The following did the trick:

[client] host=xxxxxx user=yyyyyy password=zzzzzzz

    I really apologize for the looooooooong delay in response. I would recommend against setting the user. The calling script is presumably executed by the user so it is redundant to include and ever so slightly less secure to have it in the same file as the password.
