in reply to My preferred way of handling config data in Perl is:

I prefer this way, upper has higher priority:

• command line arguments
• %ENV
• file configuration (it means XML for me)
• hardcoded defaults

Mixing these options gives me desired flexibility.

The other practice, which I use sometimes, is to treat relative paths as relative to real location of the executed file (excluding mod_perl cases).

The other practice

No way that I am prepared to discuss my "other practice" on a public forum :-)
