Greetings, fellow monks.

I am currently working on a project that, like every other project, needs a config file.

I've read about a few options for handling the need for config files - from building a parse for name=value pairs to just having a config.pm that has all my configuration stuff inside it, to using Config::foo, and so on.

Long story short, I'm no longer certain which format to use(or how to accomplish it).

I need the config file to be able to contain Perl code, which means I can't use the first method I mentioned.

However, I'd also like it to insinuate its data into a global %config hash - so that I can refer to it from anywhere within my collection of scripts by simple doing this:

use config;
print $config{foo};

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to implement this in Perl, or a module I could use that would help me accomplish this?

Thanks,

Spidy
