Doing that just leads me into a problem in the next line: Can't call method "param" on an undefined value at kenesis.pl line 92, <STDIN> line1. My Syntax on that line, and the ones to follow, is/are just like the one posted in ACCESSING VALUES section of that documentation. @player = $cfg->param("player"); The configuration file that I am working with is using the "Simple" syntax. Sorry for all of the trouble over this.
