Dear fellow Monks,

I have made myself a editor for the Perl Config. But now there is the question how I can update the Config File(s) with my values.

What I have: An Array of Config Key=Value pairs.

What I need to do:
Writing those values to the Config (for any Perl Version) The difficulty is that there seems to be many different "layouts" for the config files, so I ask myself:
Is it possible to modify the Config without using a editor to modify the Config file(s) manually?

Humble,

Andre
