Re: What is the easiest way of having a configuration file for my program?

[ghenry]

Three modules on CPAN, (one which is already mentioned above, but is now called something else):

• Config::General
• AppConfig::File
• Config::Tiny

Config::General is part of the bigger Config-General module, and AppConfig is the parent of AppConfig::File

They both read configuration files that are in the standard format that you would expect, but give you many, many options.

HTH.

And my new favorite, Config::Scoped.

To my beginner eyes, this looks much the same as the two that I mentioned previously.

If I may ask, what sets this apart from them?

Thanks.

Inline Perl (in a Safe compartment you control), and nested scoping. Saved my hiney on a recent project.

Could you post this as a separate answer to the question, along with a brief description (better yet, example) of what differentiates it? Thanks.
