If all you need is to #include a big hash of values from an external file, you can do something like:
package MyConfig; sub new { my $proto = shift; my $class = ref($proto) || $proto; my $config = { "Servers to poll" => { # host login password "theophyline" => { "admin" => "secret" }, "caffeine" => { "admin" => "buzzword" }, "theobromine" => { "admin" => "mystery" }, }, "times to poll" => { "3:00 AM", "4:21 PM", }, }; bless($config, $class); return $config; } "the end";
Then, in your main code, all you have to do is:
use MyConfig; my $externalConfig = MyConfig->new(); foreach my $server (keys %{$externalConfig->{'Servers to poll'}}) { my ($login, $password) = each %{$externalConfig->{'Servers to poll'}->{$server}}; # etc.... }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
