in reply to Problem with setting Variables in Perl Modules

Probably a bad idea to call your module config because there is a base Perl module called Config. That might cause problems on operating systems which do not have case-sensitive filenames, like Windows.

    Not to mention that by convention all lowercase module names are reserved for Perl's use (e.g. strict, warnings, re, yadda yadda). It's not enforced by any mechanism (save the foot you don't shoot not being your own . . .) but be aware you're flouting convention if you do so.

      By convention, lowercase modules names are reserved for pragmas.

      Core modules use both all lowercase and camelcase names.
