Well, that's true. Not sure I care that much; I just wanted to know if I was missing something here, and it appears I'm not. So that's good. Although there is another aspect of Config::General I wouldn't mind improving, so if I get around to submitting a patch for that I might throw in the other for free, as it were. <s>

Oh, believe me, I've been looking--although you did have one or two new ones on me in that list; thanx for that! But really Config::General is a great choice IMHO. Just that one thing I thought was a bit odd. But I'm over it now. :-)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
