Re^2: Packaging up my code sensibly

[punkish]

Thanks for the reply. Your linked thread is quite specific to CGI::App, and while I learned a little bit from it, I am still in the confused land.

Wrt reading a conf file, that is not really a problem. I am already reading an external conf file. I can also use Config::Simple or its many other brethren. However, the problem more is how to share these values among the various imported modules. I guess, that is really what I need a tutorial on.

I am not really share my H::T objects right now. I have only one module MyPackage.pm that I bring in. I create an H::T object in it. However, if I chop up MyPackage.pm into many sub-packages, I will have to schlep H::T object back and forth. I am not quite sure how to do that correctly.

Isn't what you need is a singleton object to store your values? Something that you'll call like this :

use MyModules::Config;

# here's the singleton magic:
# "new" recalls the existing instance if any.
my $conf=Config->new();

from each script. And the Config package would look like this :

This way, all your modules can share the same config without passing any parameter around : just call my $conf=Config->new() from each module, the first to call it will load the configuration data, the others will simply share that instance.
