in thread Single file oriented for different usage

Thanks. That would certainly work in the case where the parameters are established, and they won't change much. (Like if I ever near stable, non-beta releases.) But while it's under active development and I still might be experimenting, I can't guarantee that parameters, parameter names, etc, won't shift around, be removed, or altered in a way that would break a user config file. Any suggestions in this case?

    You couldn't guarantee that anyways, even in prod. Just look at how often parameter names change in Oracle, let alone MySQL or Apache. Just get it done. :-)

    My criteria for good software:
    1. Does it work?
    2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

      Right. So multiple copies of Config.pm then... ?
