Further to GrandFather's post: Part of the useful enhanced context would be an expected hash structure for each multiple parameter/value pair string (hopefully, more than just one!) that you provide. E.g., for the multi-line string example here, do you expect

%values = (
  'radius' => 3,
  'density' => .014,
  'URL' => '"https://www.geometry.org"',
  'max_no_of_attempts' => 4,
  );

or do you want something like

%values = (
  ...,
  'URL' => 'https://www.geometry.org',
  ...,
  );

(double-quotes stripped away)? How should wonky quoted strings be handled? By die-ing. By warn-ing and continuing to process? In another way?

And yes, I think a module probably already exists to do this sort of thing.

Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
