Hello all,

I'm picking up a project I did a year ago, and trying to make some enhancements to the code. I got everything working, but then had to revert back from v5.10 to v5.8 (and this is all ActivePerl for Windows, on XP). Now that I am trying to run it on v5.8 on my machine (specifically v5.8.9.825), I get the following:

perl -e "use Config::INI::Simple;"

Can't locate Config/INI/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site
+/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

[download]

which is to be expected if I don't have the package installed. But, when I look on PPM (ActiveState's directory), it is not out there, and if I search CPAN, I can't find it, and if I google for it, the closest I get is http://search.cpan.org/dist/Config-INI-Simple -- which says it doesn't exist (I mean, I can find some things which look like direct source trunks on google, but I haven't looked into that very far -- explained below).

So, that makes me ask the question, where did Config::INI::Simple go? I could try and track down the source from some obscure place, but in this production application, I want to have as few as possible 'defunct' resources, and there are other INI packages to use.

Was Config::INI::Simple succeeded by some other package, or is there a compatible package/close package available that someone knows about (in the efforts to minimize retrofitting code)?

Thanks,

Matthew
