    Hello, thanks for the reply - I apologise if my question was not clear. I know how to create and manipulate config files in general. What I am after is any good practices of having a distribution with a config file. Is it as simple as creating a .conf and having it in the same directory? Does CPAN installation support this etc thanks Spiros

      Oh, in that case you can look at something like Module::Install::Share for handling the installation of non-code files with your distribution.
