Best Config file module?

Ratazong has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks

I need to read some config-files. The format should be human-readable/writable, but I am free to choose any one I need. It should however be able to represent "tree-structures". e.g.:

Project:  P_1
    Key1:   1
    Key2:   2
    Type:   xyz
Project:  P_2
    Key1:   22
    Key2:   33
    Type:   abc
[download]

I need to read that file into a hash, and want to access it with code like my $key = $config{P_1}{key1}.

The list of config-modules in CPAN is overhelming. Which ones would you recommend for that task?

Thanks in advance! Rata
