Mohammed,
You may want to take a look at the
'AppConfig' module; or one of
the other similar modules referenced in the following article.
The only drawback(s) I've found with
AppConfig so far (i.e. since
I've begun trying to use it)
are:
! AppConfig::Getopt cannot parse
hashes passed via command-line (due
to problem <bug?> in
Getopt::Long); it works great for hash
parameters specified in a file,
though, since it handles those
itself.
- Configuration file format is a bit more
restrictive than I'd like
(no in-line comments; requires
line-continuation character)
- not readily installable via AS PPM for
Win32
Only the top issue has really affected my
testing, and it's not
a big deal since I'm not currently passing
hash parameters on the
command-line, anyway.
Good luck!
