You guys are making this all far more difficult than it needs to be.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Config::Any;

#By the way, load_files is only useful for multiple files, in which ca
+se you will have to change the code below. For only one file, load() 
+is good enough.
my $cfg = Config::Any->load( "C:\\wamp\\www\\password.ini" );

#Simply printing $cfg will print its reference, like you asked for.
#Config::Any returns a hashref(when used with [cpan://Config::Any::INI
+] which interfaces to [cpan://Config::Tiny]), so you need to access i
+t like one.
print $cfg->{password}->{password};

The docs for Config::any can be a bit confusing for the beginning programmer, I know.
