Combining Multiple Scripts and their Configuration Files into a Hierarchical Configurationby hackdaddy (Hermit) |

hackdaddy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I have a several scripts that use AppConfig module for their configuration files. However, I would like to implement a master script which runs the scripts as subordinates.
Furthermore, I would like the master script's configuration file to be able to override configuration settings in the configuration files of the subordinate script. I am not sure that AppConfig is the appropriate module for this design. How do I design a configuration system where there is a hierarchical configuration with the parent overriding the child's configuration? An example that comes to mind is the IIS web server metabase. What other designs for hierarchical configuration are possible? Thanks!
