Found the problem. The prototype being used by Config::Std::read_config isn't supported until perl 5.7.3 - see perl573delta. Minimal test case: `sub read_config ($\[%$]) {} read_config( 'example.conf' => my %conf );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you so much.. I'm on that. It's really a simple thing it's doing for the end user of this module.. But it seems clean and slick - And it's made by the Big Poppa of sterilized coding... So I didn't want to pass this up. Should there be something in Config::Std About this? Makefile.PL does not say something about the version of perl needed. Did I miss it? Did the person who installed this miss it... ?	[reply]

Works for me in this environment: Config::Std version 0.0.4 perl 5.8.2 built for i386-openbsd OpenBSD 3.5 Installing perl 5.6.2, will update this entry once its done and I can test.	[reply]

Why on Earth is your FreeBSD Perl build for i386-linux? What version of Perl are you really using on FreeBSD? And what version of FreeBSD is this?	[reply]
