hushhush has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi
My app uses a perl config file that's basically just a data structure I pull in with a do call. I'd like to make this a binary file so it's difficult for anyone but myself or select others, to modify the configuration file. Storable would almost be fine but that's a bit too easy for someone else to read in modify and write out a new one. Basically I'm just trying to keep the honest people honest :) there are some people who will have file level access to the app that might be tempted to modify it, rather than go through channels. Any suggestions, this is for a persistent web app so it only needs to load once at startup. thanks in advance
