in thread Creating data tree from input without eval

I would really recommend you move to a saner way of storing your configuration information, like a slash-delimited path to the target or a dot delimited path, ...
Or even YAML, which is about as close to having the full complex structures of Perl available, without ever invoking an eval. Heck, it's even cross platform, so you can read the same file into Python or Ruby.

    Looks like I'll use this in the future. At the moment I'm to far in to doing it this way.
