Including code without packaging?
I could be slightly annoying and point out Config::IniFiles
already exists. Then again, "rolling your own" can frequently
be fun.
As to your exact question, I would make a package anyway.
It only adds a few lines to the file and I can almost
promise you this code will grow. More functions will
be added, maybe some different variables to control how
errors are handled, etc. If you start with a package now,
it will save you some hassle later.
Of course, ymmv
